Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1046

A company that is introducing a new product into the market by the end of the year requires a storage and distribution facility to be built. During the monthly stakeholder meeting, it is discovered that the location for implementation is a government-owned area.

What should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Update the risk register
• B. Update the issue log
• C. Identify an alternative site
• D. Issue a change request

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because identifying that the location is government-owned introduces a risk that must be documented in the risk register. Options B, C, and D are not the first steps; updating the issue log would be premature without assessing risks, identifying an alternative site is a subsequent action, and issuing a change request assumes a change is already required.
