    PMP · Question 66 · Task 15: Manage project issues

    During project execution, a previously identified risk has materialized into an actual issue: a key supplier has experienced a cyber security breach that has disrupted their operations and may compromise project deliverables. The supplier estimates 2-3 weeks for full recovery, which will impact the project timeline. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Update the risk register to reflect that the risk has become an issue and document the impact

    B.

    Assess the immediate impact on project deliverables and work with stakeholders to identify response options

    C.

    Immediately find alternative suppliers to replace the affected vendor

    D.

    Escalate the supplier issue to senior management for resolution

    How to approach this question

    When risks materialize into issues, focus on immediate impact assessment and collaborative response option development before documentation or escalation.
