A project team has completed a major deliverable earlier than planned and wants to deliver it for testing. The team lead sends an email providing notice of task completion to the project manager. Which of the following describes how the project manager can increase the likelihood that the deliverable moves to testing?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Send an email to quality assurance and copy the project team. Sending an email to quality assurance directly notifies the team responsible for testing that the deliverable is available for their review. Copying the project team maintains transparency and creates a documented communication trail for the handoff. This follows formal communication best practices for deliverable transitions in project management.

Answer

B. Call a meeting to hand off the deliverable to quality assurance. Calling a meeting introduces unnecessary delay and overhead when a formal written notification to QA is sufficient to initiate the testing handoff.

Answer

C. Hold a conference call to a review the next deliverable with the project team. Reviewing the next deliverable with the project team does not address the immediate need to move the completed deliverable forward to testing.

Answer

D. Send an email to the project sponsor and copy the project team. The project sponsor is not the appropriate recipient to initiate a testing handoff - QA is the team responsible for receiving and testing the deliverable.
