Business EnvironmentPlan and manage project complianceeasy
Throughout a regulated project, the project manager wants to be able to demonstrate later that each compliance obligation was met. What should the project manager do?
- AMaintain compliance documentation and evidence as the work proceeds, recording how each requirement was met in a compliance register or equivalent.
- BKeep the compliance evidence informally and assemble a full record only if a regulator requests it.
- CRely on the individual specialists to remember and attest to what was done for each requirement.
- DDocument the project's compliance at closure, when the full picture of everything that was done across the whole project is finally available to write up in one place.
Explanation
Correct answer: ACompliance is evidenced continuously as the work is done, so the record is complete and verifiable rather than reconstructed after the fact.
- A
- Correct. Recording how each requirement was met as the work proceeds produces a complete, verifiable compliance record and surfaces gaps while they can still be fixed.
- B
- Assembling evidence only on demand risks finding that proof of a step taken months ago no longer exists.
- C
- Individual memory is not verifiable evidence and disappears when people move on.
- D
- Reconstructing compliance evidence at closure relies on recollection and may reveal, too late, that a required step was never documented or done.
