Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Evaluating the effectiveness of the meeting

Explanation

Evaluating meeting effectiveness involves reviewing whether the meeting achieved its stated objectives, followed the agenda, used time efficiently, and produced the intended outcomes. This assessment helps improve future meetings.

**Why not A:** A risk assessment identifies and analyzes potential future threats to the project. Reviewing whether a meeting achieved its objectives is about evaluating past performance, not identifying future uncertainties. Meeting outcomes are assessed for effectiveness, not for risk.

**Why not B:** Lessons learned are typically captured for use in future projects and are part of project closure or retrospective activities. Bohdan is evaluating a single meeting's effectiveness in real time, not documenting formal lessons for organizational learning across projects.

**Why not D:** Quality assurance involves systematic processes to ensure deliverables meet defined quality standards. Reviewing whether a meeting followed its agenda and achieved objectives is about meeting management effectiveness, not about verifying the quality of project deliverables.
