Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1359

A company has decided to implement a new archiving system. A data breach occurred during the implementation of the project.
What should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Implement the planned risk response to handle the issue
• B. Review possible alternative documentation methods with team
• C. Update the risk register with the risk and proposed impact
• D. Ask the team to fix the system to resolve the issue

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because implementing the planned risk response is crucial to effectively manage the data breach immediately. Options B, C, and D are not the best initial actions; reviewing documentation or updating the risk register can occur after addressing the immediate risk, and simply fixing the system without a structured response may not adequately mitigate the breach.
