PMP · Question 64 · Task 15: Manage project issues
A project manager identifies that a previously managed risk has materialized: a key vendor has announced they will discontinue support for a critical software component in six months. This is causing delays in development and concerns about long-term system sustainability. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Update the risk register to reflect that the risk has become an issue
Begin searching for alternative software components to replace the discontinued one
Assess the immediate and long-term impact, then collaborate with stakeholders to determine the optimal response strategy
Implement the pre-planned risk response that was developed when this risk was first identified
