Rework

Corrective work performed to fix a product or component that fails quality checks, bringing it into alignment with the defined requirements and standards.

Key Points

  • Triggered when an output is found defective or not meeting stated criteria during inspections or testing.
  • Consumes time and budget; if baselines are impacted, it may require a formal change request and approval.
  • It is corrective (fixing issues found), not preventive (avoiding issues before they occur).
  • Reduced by solid quality planning, clear specifications, early reviews, and effective quality control.

Example

During quality control on a construction project, a concrete section is discovered to be out of tolerance. The crew removes the nonconforming portion and repours it so the final work meets the project specifications. This corrective effort is rework.

PMP Example Question

During inspection, a component is found outside the required tolerance. The team machines the part further so it meets the stated requirements. What is this activity called?

  1. Preventive action
  2. Rework
  3. Validate Scope
  4. Gold plating

Correct Answer: B - Rework

Explanation: The team is correcting a nonconforming item so it satisfies defined requirements, which is rework.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
