Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 998

A project manager is working on a critical path activity and notices a delay in product delivery due to an anticipated event. What should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Use the contingency fund.
• B. Update the risk register.
• C. Prepare a change request.
• D. Follow the risk response plan.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as following the risk response plan is the initial step to address the delay. The other options, while potentially necessary later, do not directly address the immediate need to implement strategies for managing the identified risk.
