PMP · Question 52 · Task 3: Assess and manage risks
During iteration planning, the team identifies a new technical risk: the third-party payment processing API may not handle the expected transaction volume during peak periods. This could impact the upcoming release. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Add the risk to the risk register and schedule detailed analysis for the next iteration
Remove the payment processing feature from the current iteration to avoid the risk
Conduct a spike to test the API's capacity limits and identify potential solutions
Escalate the risk to the product owner for a scope decision
