PMP Practice Question 813 - Process
In the execution phase of a project, the development team is informed by the IT security department that one of the external platforms that the team is using will be uninstalled for the whole organization. What should the project manager do first?
- ✓ Correct A.Ask the project team to analyze the impact.
- B.Register the risk and document the contingency plan.
- C.Escalate the issue to the change control board (CCB).
- D.Have the project team brainstorm alternatives.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When an external platform used by the development team will be uninstalled organization-wide, the project manager should first ask the project team to analyze the impact. Understanding the scope of the disruption guides all subsequent decisions about alternatives, risk responses, or escalation. Registering the risk and documenting contingency (B) is premature without impact analysis. Escalating to the CCB (C) requires impact data. Having the team brainstorm alternatives (D) should follow impact assessment.
