PMP · Question 65 · Task 15: Manage project issues
During project execution, a risk that was identified in the risk register has materialized into an active issue: the lead architect has accepted a position with another company and will leave in two weeks. This person has critical knowledge about the system architecture and integration points that hasn't been fully documented. The project is in a critical phase with tight deadlines. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Immediately assess the scope of critical knowledge and prioritize the most essential information for project continuity
Negotiate with the departing architect to extend their notice period or provide consulting support
Begin recruiting a replacement architect with similar experience and expertise
Escalate to senior management to determine the best course of action
