A company has appointed a supplier to deliver software and has assigned an internal project...

 In the scenario where a supplier has stated that no technical development or testing is required from the customer, it is imperative for the internal project manager to first verify and align the project requirements with all stakeholders. This ensures that all parties have a common understanding of the project scope and deliverables before proceeding. Hosting an alignment session is a proactive approach to confirm the supplier’s statement and to clarify any assumptions or expectations. This step is crucial for the project’s success and aligns with the best practices in project management as outlined in the PMBOK guide.
