You are the project manager of the NHT Project. This project has 12,345 office doors to install throughout a campus. Each of the doors costs the project $456 and requires special hardware to electronically lock and open the doors. You've gathered the project team before they begin the installation for a hands-on training. As a group you and the project team install 50 doors following a checklist of instructions so that every door will be installed exactly the same throughout the campus and with minimal waste. This is an example of what project execution technique?

  • A. Preventive action
  • B. Defect repair validation
  • C. Implemented corrective action
  • D. Quality control
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
This is an example of a preventive action as you're working with the team before they install the doors to train them on the installation. The checklist is a quality control tool but the question was asking for a project execution activity. Preventive and corrective actions are part of project execution.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The defect repair validation comes after the project team has corrected an error - something that has not occurred in this instance.
C: Corrective action is a response to something that needs to be corrected in the project.
D: Quality control is a controlling and monitoring process, not an executing process.

Selected Answer: D
A. Preventive action refers to steps taken to avoid potential problems or defects before they occur. The scenario described is more about ensuring consistency and quality rather than preventing potential issues in advance.
