PMP Practice Question 651 - Business Environment
A project manager leads a software development project in a hybrid environment. During project planning, the project manager identified a risk where a technical resource for a critical path item may not be available when needed. One week before the resource is needed, the technical engineer had a personal emergency and had to take a leave. What should the project manager do next?
- ✓ Correct A.Consult the risk register for an appropriate planned risk response and implement.
- B.Update the lessons learned report and the risk log to reflect that this risk has materialized.
- C.Revise the project management plan and move the task to a time when the technical resource will be available.
- D.Review the business requirement with stakeholders and exclude the task assigned to the technical resource.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When a previously identified risk materializes — a critical technical resource becomes unavailable one week before needed — the project manager should consult the risk register for the planned risk response and implement it. Pre-planned responses enable rapid action. Updating lessons learned (B) documents after the fact. Revising the plan to reschedule the task (C) delays delivery. Reviewing requirements to exclude the task (D) removes functionality.
