PMI PMP Project Management

Answer: True. Re-work sounds like something project managers want to eliminate, and it is! However, it is necessary in many projects.

Key Takeaway: The key is to be keeping a close enough eye on quality to ensure that the amount of re-work is small relative to the size of the project. We have noticed that some project managers will go out of their way to hide the fact that any re-work needs to be done. This is a violation of professional standards, but also a reflection of fear of this term that has cropped up in PM circles.
