Explanation
When a key supplier goes bankrupt during the construction execution phase, the project manager should first update the issue log and act to minimize the impact. Documenting the issue and taking immediate action protects the schedule. Escalating to management (A) delays action. Updating the schedule to include the delay (B) accepts the impact without mitigation. Adding to the risk register (C) treats a realized issue as a risk.
