CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 238

A project manager just found out that the equipment vendor selected for a project is bankrupt. The process of selecting a new vendor and signing a contract will significantly delay the project schedule. Which of the following should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Consult with the legal department.
• B. Update the issue log.
• C. Start a new RFP immediately.
• D. Perform a PERT analysis.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as updating the issue log is crucial for documenting the problem and its potential impact on the project. This ensures that all stakeholders are aware of the situation. The other options, while potentially necessary later, do not address the immediate need for documentation and communication regarding the issue.
