PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 70

The project manager is reviewing the lessons learned from a previous similar project. The previous project was delayed due to the delay in delivery of a gas turbine generator (GTG). Construction of the previous project had to be shut down unexpectedly to wait for the late delivery of the GTG.

What should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Interview the other project manager to learn more details.
• B. Review and update the project schedule.
• C. Include the risk in the register and communicate with the stakeholders.
• D. Communicate with the client to provide the previous shutdown plan.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because interviewing the other project manager will provide valuable insights into the specific issues faced during the previous project, allowing the current project manager to better understand the context of the delays. The other options, while important, are actions that would come after gathering detailed information about the past project.
