Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 35

A project schedule risk has turned into an issue. The project manager foresees delays in project execution.
What should the project manager do to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Escalate the issue to senior leadership for resolution
• B. Work with relevant stakeholders to determine possible solutions
• C. Update the schedule baseline to the new project time line
• D. Update the risk management plan and send it to the project team

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it involves collaborating with stakeholders to identify solutions, which is essential for effective problem resolution. Option A is not ideal because escalating may not provide immediate solutions. Option C is inappropriate since updating the schedule without addressing the root cause won't resolve the delays. Option D focuses on documentation rather than actively solving the issue.
