During execution of a complex software-integration project, the project manager wants to lower the probability that undetected quality issues will jeopardize project success. Which of the following actions BEST supports this goal?
Depend on supplier product warranties to cover defects that surface after delivery to the customer.
Postpone detailed quality testing until the final acceptance phase to avoid disrupting the project schedule.
Focus on collecting lessons learned after project closure to improve quality on future projects instead of the current one.
Schedule and perform quality control inspections on deliverables at each major milestone, immediately addressing any detected variances.
Conducting regular quality control inspections during the project life cycle allows the team to find and correct defects early. Doing so reduces rework, prevents schedule slippage, and increases the likelihood of meeting stakeholder expectations. Postponing testing until final acceptance, relying solely on supplier warranties, or waiting until lessons-learned sessions after closure do not proactively control quality and therefore do not effectively reduce the risk of project failure.
