A project manager is addressing several issues that have arisen during a project. To prioritize these issues effectively, considering the scope of impact to the organization, which issue should be resolved first?
A typo in the user interface that doesn't affect functionality.
A deprecated feature scheduled for removal in the next update.
An application flaw exposing customer information.
A delay in generating an internal report used by a small team.
When prioritizing issues, the project manager should focus on the one with the greatest impact on the organization. An application flaw exposing customer information poses severe legal, financial, and reputational consequences, making it the highest priority to address. In contrast, a typo in the user interface is minor and doesn't affect functionality. A delay in generating an internal report affects a small team and has limited organizational impact. A deprecated feature scheduled for removal is already planned for elimination and is less critical.
