When concerns about meeting quality standards arise, it is crucial for the project manager to review the quality management plan with the senior manager. This allows both parties to understand the quality objectives, standards, and procedures that are in place, and to ensure that these align with the project's goals. The PMBOKGuide and best practices in project management emphasize the importance of regular quality assessments and the use of quality audits to ensure that project activities comply with the defined quality standards12. By reviewing the quality management plan, the project manager and senior manager can collaboratively address any gaps or misunderstandings and take necessary actions to meet the quality requirements.

Explanation
= This answer is based on the knowledge area of project integration management, which involves coordinating all aspects of the project, including the use of organizational process assets (OPAs). OPAs are the plans, processes, policies, procedures, and knowledge bases specific to and used by the performing organization.
They can help the project team to perform or govern the project, such as by providing templates, standards, guidelines, or lessons learned. By clarifying the relevance of reviewing the documentation on the intranet, the project manager can help the new team member to understand the importance and value of OPAs for the project, and to identify the ones that are most relevant and useful for their role and responsibilities.
