    PMP · Question 33 · Task 1: Plan and manage project compliance

    A project manager is working on a government contract that requires specific security clearances for team members. Two weeks into the project, one team member's security clearance is revoked due to personal issues unrelated to work performance. This team member was responsible for 25% of the critical path activities. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Immediately remove the team member and redistribute their work to other cleared team members

    B.

    Request an expedited security clearance review for the team member

    C.

    Assess the impact on project schedule and identify options for replacing the team member or redistributing work

    D.

    Escalate to the client to request a waiver for the security clearance requirement

    How to approach this question

    When compliance issues affect critical resources, assess the full impact first to enable informed decision-making about response options.
