A project manager has identified several uncertainties that could affect the project's schedule and budget. Which project component should the manager update to document these uncertainties and their possible responses appropriately?
Uncertainties that might impact the project's objectives are considered risks. The risk register is the project component used to document all identified risks, along with their potential impacts and planned responses. By updating the risk register, the project manager ensures these uncertainties are tracked and managed.
The issue log tracks problems that have already occurred and need resolution, not potential future uncertainties. The change management plan outlines the process for managing changes to the project but does not record specific risks. The work breakdown structure (WBS) decomposes the project's scope into manageable work packages but does not capture uncertainties or risks.
