Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1294

A project requires testing of the final product to be done at another department’s testing facility, which is known for having low availability. This situation could potentially impact the project schedule.

What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Update the project schedule.
• B. Update the issue log.
• C. Update the lessons learned register.
• D. Update the risk register.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as updating the risk register allows the project manager to document the potential impact of the testing facility's low availability on the project schedule. Updating the project schedule (A) does not address the risk itself, while modifying the issue log (B) and lessons learned document (C) are not relevant to proactively managing this risk.
