Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager is responsible for the overall management and delivery of the project, but they do not typically possess the deep technical expertise to assess the viability of the supplier's solution. They rely on the Senior Supplier for technical assurance and feasibility assessments.
- ✗
Project Assurance
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance provides independent oversight of the project's processes and products, but it is not specifically responsible for assessing the technical viability of the supplier's solution. That responsibility lies with the Senior Supplier, who has the technical expertise and authority to confirm feasibility.
- ✓
Senior Supplier
Why this is correct
The Senior Supplier is accountable for the technical integrity of the project and ensures that the supplier's solution is feasible and achievable. They provide assurance that the proposed products can be delivered to the required quality standards and within constraints, leveraging their technical expertise.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager is responsible for managing a team to produce products, but they are not accountable for the overall technical viability of the supplier's solution. That responsibility sits with the Senior Supplier, who represents the supplier's interests at the Project Board level.
