Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 62

In the middle of a software development project, the lead design programmer accepted an offer from a competitor. The project manager needs to find a replacement to meet an upcoming milestone.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Consult the risk response plan.
• B. Update the resource calendar.
• C. Issue a request to the change control board (CCB).
• D. Assign the tasks to another team member.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the risk response plan outlines actions to take when unexpected events, like losing a key team member, occur. The other options do not directly address the immediate need to manage the impact of this loss on the project timeline.
