PMP · Question 17 · Task 3: Assess and manage risks
During iteration planning for a hybrid project, the team identifies a new technical risk: the third-party API they planned to integrate may not support the required data volume. This could impact the sprint goal and upcoming release. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Add the risk to the risk register and plan a detailed analysis for the next iteration
Remove the API integration from the current sprint scope to avoid the risk
Work with the team to conduct a spike to assess the API's actual capacity and identify alternative solutions
Escalate the risk to the product owner for a scope decision
