Report of Tolerance Exceedance

C.

If a project team identifies that tolerances are forecast to be exceeded, the team manager should report this to the project board so that appropriate action can be taken. There are different ways to report this information, and each method serves a different purpose.

A. Create an Exception Report: This is the correct answer. An exception report is a type of report that is created when a stage tolerance is forecast to be exceeded or has been exceeded. It is used to communicate the situation to the project board and request a decision on how to proceed. The report should include information on the impact of the situation, the options available, and the team's recommendation. The project board will review the report and make a decision on how to proceed.

B. Create a Highlight Report: A highlight report is a summary of the project's progress, highlighting achievements, issues, and risks. It is not appropriate to use a highlight report to report that tolerances are forecast to be exceeded.

C. Raise an Issue: Raising an issue is appropriate when an unexpected event occurs that requires action to be taken. However, if the team has forecasted that tolerances will be exceeded, this is not an unexpected event, and it is not appropriate to raise an issue.

D. Grant a Concession: A concession is a formal agreement to change a project baseline, such as a cost, time, or scope. It is not appropriate to grant a concession if tolerances are forecast to be exceeded because this does not necessarily require a change to the baseline.

In summary, the correct way for the team manager to report that tolerances are forecast to be exceeded is by creating an exception report.
