A project manager is leading a software development project. During execution, the quality assurance team identifies a recurring defect in a specific module. After a brief analysis, the project manager authorizes the development team to implement a pre-approved corrective action to fix the bug and prevent future occurrences. In which process is the project manager primarily engaged when authorizing the implementation of this corrective action?
The correct answer is 'Direct and Manage Project Work'. This process involves leading and performing the work defined in the project management plan, which includes implementing approved changes to achieve project objectives. Authorizing and carrying out a corrective action is a key activity within this process. 'Monitor and Control Project Work' focuses on tracking progress and identifying variances, which may lead to recommending a corrective action, but not the execution of it. 'Perform Integrated Change Control' is the process for formally reviewing and approving or rejecting change requests, not implementing them. 'Control Quality' focuses on monitoring and recording the results of quality activities to assess performance, and while it might identify the need for a fix, the execution of that fix falls under Direct and Manage Project Work.
