Project Management Professional Practice Question

A project manager for a $120-million urban transit station build is coordinating shipments of specialized steel beams and elevator components from two foreign suppliers. Overnight, diplomatic relations between the two countries deteriorate, prompting export-license reviews and raising the possibility of border closures that could delay the materials by several weeks. The project's critical path depends on the beams arriving within three weeks, and schedule float has already been consumed. According to PMI best practice, what should the project manager do first to address this emerging situation?

  • Start analyzing current import conditions and tariffs for alternative logistics planning

  • Negotiate higher budgets with stakeholders in anticipation of raised costs

  • Assess and prioritize impact on project scope or timeline

  • Plan a meeting to develop new sourcing strategies
