Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 63

You have been assigned as the Project Manager for a new project that involves building of a new roadway between the city airport to a designated point within the city. However, you notice that the transportation permit issuing authority is taking longer than the planned time to issue the permit to begin construction. What would you classify this as?

Answer options

• A. Project Risk
• B. Status Update
• C. Risk Update
• D. Project Issue

Correct answer: D

Explanation

This situation is classified as a Project Issue because it represents an immediate problem affecting the project's timeline. While it could potentially be a risk, the delay in obtaining the permit is a current obstacle that needs resolution, distinguishing it from a risk that is more about future uncertainties.
