Why each option
When a project manager is new to an industry and learns about compliance requirements, their immediate priority is to conduct personal research to fully understand these requirements and their implications. This foundational understanding is crucial for effective project management.
Blindly trusting existing documentation without personal verification is a significant risk, especially when the PM is new to the industry.
While meeting with end users is valuable, it should follow initial research. End users may not have a complete or authoritative understanding of all legal and regulatory compliance requirements.
As the project manager is new to the industry and compliance requirements are critical, their FIRST step must be to independently research and understand these requirements and their potential implications on the project scope, schedule, budget, and quality. Gaining a personal understanding is essential for effective planning and risk management.
Delegating responsibility to a QA specialist before the project manager themselves understands the requirements is inappropriate; the PM must first grasp the compliance landscape to properly manage the project.
