Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 142

The project manager is reviewing a project's progress and notices that one of the risks has become an issue.
What should the project manager do to address the situation?

Answer options

• A. Initiate a change request to obtain additional funds from the management reserve
• B. Meet with the project team and customer to brainstorm about potential solutions
• C. Schedule a high-priority meeting with the project stakeholders to discuss the issue
• D. Collaborate with the relevant stakeholders on implementing the risk response plan

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because collaborating with stakeholders to execute the risk response plan directly addresses the issue that has arisen. Options A and C are reactive measures that may not effectively resolve the issue, while option B, although useful for brainstorming, does not take immediate action to manage the risk that has become an issue.
