• BHire a quality engineering leader to drive the strategy.
• CDetermine the quality metrics for the product and recommend options for improvements.
• DAsk the product manager to spend more time improving quality.

Explanation

To ensure a high-quality Minimum Viable Product (MVP), the project manager should define specific quality metrics for the product and then recommend options for continuous improvement based on those metrics.

Common mistakes.

• A. Partnering with a third-party vendor relates to resource allocation and development strategy, but it does not directly ensure high quality without the project manager defining clear quality expectations and implementing robust monitoring mechanisms.
• B. Hiring a quality engineering leader is a strategic organizational decision and a long-term investment, not an immediate or direct action a project manager takes to ensure quality for a specific MVP project currently underway.
• D. Simply asking the product manager to 'spend more time improving quality' is an unspecific and directive approach that shifts responsibility without providing concrete tools, metrics, or processes for the product manager or team to act upon effectively.
