Question

There are 1,500 doors to be installed in Tom's program. Each of the 1,500 doors is required by the building code to swing into the room rather than swing out into the hallways. It has come to Tom's attention that part of the team installing the doors has installed nearly 200 doors to swing into the hallway rather than into the rooms. Tom instructs the team to fix the problem. What type of action has Tom taken in this instance?

Explanation

Defect repair is the act of identifying a defect in a project component and repairing or replacing that component to bring it into conformance with requirements. Tom identified that 200 doors were installed incorrectly (not meeting building code requirements) and instructed the team to fix them - this is defect repair. Defect repair validation would be the subsequent step of verifying that the repaired doors now meet requirements. Scope control manages changes to the project scope. Team development focuses on improving team competencies and interaction, not fixing physical deliverables.
