A team has developed and tested new software to control airplanes during flights. There are several regulatory requirements that must be met. What should the project manager do to meet these…

Asking HR to assign a compliance specialist might be helpful earlier in the project lifecycle for guidance, but it doesn't directly address the project manager's responsibility for ensuring the *final product* meets the requirements.

Determining potential threats (risk management) is a proactive step that should be done earlier in the project to identify risks, but at this stage, the software has already been developed and tested, so the focus shifts to proving actual compliance.

Measuring compliance is part of the validation process, but 'validate that the software is compliant' encompasses the entire effort to confirm adherence, which is a stronger and more conclusive action for a finished product.

For critical software like flight control systems, meeting regulatory requirements is paramount and non-negotiable for project success and safety. The project manager must ensure a formal validation process is undertaken to confirm that the developed software demonstrably adheres to all specified standards and regulations, often involving audits, inspections, and certified testing. This validation provides conclusive evidence of compliance, which is essential before deployment.
