While preparing for the stage-gate review of a prefabricated bridge section, the project manager learns that government regulators will examine weld certifications and dimensional tolerances, and the customer's engineer will look for evidence that the product meets previously agreed quality criteria. Before sending the bridge section for the formal review, the project manager wants to confirm that it already complies with all relevant standards and requirements. Which of the following project documents should the project manager consult FIRST to determine whether the finished deliverable meets the agreed quality thresholds?
Assess the impact of all approved change requests on the project's quality management plan.
Consult the quality metrics to verify that the deliverable adheres to defined quality standards.
Review the latest project management plan updates to check for any quality-related adjustments.
Analyze the most recent quality reports to determine if similar deliverables are functioning as intended.
Consulting the quality metrics is the most appropriate step because these metrics define the exact tolerances, measurement methods, and acceptable limits that the deliverable must meet. They are an input to the Control Quality process and are used to compare actual inspection results to established standards. Approved change requests or project management plan updates may affect the approach to quality, but they do not state the pass/fail criteria for the deliverable itself. Quality reports summarize past findings and trends but may not contain the specific numeric thresholds needed to make a compliance decision for this individual deliverable.
