A project manager is leading a large infrastructure project. The quality audits have consistently found minor non-conformances, but the team has not been addressing them because they are considered low priority. The project manager is concerned that these minor issues could lead to major problems later. What should the project manager do?

Increase the frequency of quality audits to catch more issues.

Stop the project until all non-conformances are resolved.

Prioritize the non-conformances based on risk and address the high-risk ones immediately, while planning to address the low-risk ones.

Ignore the minor non-conformances because they are low priority and focus on more critical issues.

A project manager is leading a process improvement initiative. The team has been using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle to improve a manufacturing process. After the 'Check' phase, the team found that the process variation has reduced but not eliminated. What should the project manager do next?

Abandon the PDCA cycle because the variation was not eliminated.

Implement the improved process and move to the 'Act' phase by standardizing the changes.

Increase the sample size in the 'Check' phase to get more data before acting.

Return to the 'Plan' phase and develop a completely new process.

During project planning, the project manager needs to identify the quality requirements for a new medical device. Which input is most important for determining the quality standards that the deliverable must meet?

The risk register and issue log

Stakeholder needs and regulatory constraints

The project schedule and resource calendars

The project budget and cost baseline
