Selected Answer: B
B: Root cause analysis Some of you people are crazy with these answers. Root cause analysis is a recognized quality assurance tool referenced in both PMBOK and CompTIA Project+ materials. In the PMBOK Guide, it is used during quality control to identify and correct defects (Project Management Institute, 2017). Similarly, CompTIA Project+ content highlights tools that analyze quality issues, including root cause analysis.

Selected Answer: D
Both B & D make sense, but from a QA standpoint D makes more sense. B would be what you would do if an issue has already arisen. D is what you do while actively working as a preventative measure.

Why not C? For answer B, a root cause analysis is for problem-solving and not quality assurance.

Bingo, you got it. Root causes analysis is a red herring as RCAs are done after a problem arises. Quality Control is always monitoring and it's meant to be a "course correction" to the project if things are veering off task. Assessing employee efficiency, while almost there, isn't quite the answer as efficiency KPIs could look different at different stages of the project. Checking for skill gaps is a more efficient way of making sure everyone is on the same page and treating for potential quality losses during the duration of the project.

Selected Answer: B
B - Identifying the root cause analysis is a quality assurance tool. Root cause analysis is a method used to identify the underlying cause of a problem or issue. It is often used in quality assurance to determine the root cause of defects or failures in a process, and to develop corrective actions to prevent the issue from recurring.

Selected Answer: B
B. Identifying the root cause analysis is a quality assurance tool. Identifying the root cause analysis is a tool used in quality assurance to examine failures or defects and determine their underlying causes. It is a problem-solving approach that involves asking questions to diagnose the cause of a problem and develop a solution to prevent it from recurring in the future. Root cause analysis identifies the actual cause, rather than fixing the symptoms, to prevent future issues from happening.
