    PMP · Question 06 · Task 1: Plan and manage project compliance

    During a compliance audit of a software project, the auditor identifies that the team is using open-source code with a license that requires the final product to be open-source as well. This contradicts the company's proprietary business model. The code is deeply integrated into the architecture.<br/><br/>What is the MOST appropriate immediate action for the project manager?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Ignore the finding as the code is already integrated and rewriting it is too expensive.

    B.

    Log the issue in the risk register and analyze the cost/schedule impact of replacing the code.

    C.

    Immediately fire the lead developer responsible for selecting the library.

    D.

    Purchase a commercial license for the open-source library to resolve the issue.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the problem (Legal/IP risk). PM action is to Assess/Analyze/Document before acting.

    Full Answer

    B.Log the issue in the risk register and analyze the cost/schedule impact of replacing the code.✓ Correct
    This is a significant legal compliance threat (IP infringement/Business model conflict). The PM must first log it as a risk/issue and analyze the impact (re-work costs vs. legal exposure) to inform management decision-making. Ignoring it (A) is fatal. Firing (C) is reactive. Purchasing (D) might not be possible depending on the specific license.

    Common mistakes

    Assuming a commercial solution exists (D) or ignoring it due to sunk costs (A).
