Project Management Professional Practice Question

Halfway through a 12-month data-center migration, the hardware supplier emails you that shipment of core network switches may slip by three weeks because of a global component shortage. During planning, this threat was logged in the risk register, a contingency plan and fallback triggers were approved, and risk owners were assigned. The potential delay now meets the documented trigger condition, although the switches have not yet missed their original ship date.

What should you do FIRST to implement the agreed-upon risk responses and protect the project schedule?

  • Continue with the current schedule and address the issue if the shipment actually slips.

  • Immediately start sourcing a replacement supplier to avoid relying on the current vendor.

  • Notify stakeholders of the potential delay but defer any action until the vendor confirms the slip.

  • Activate the contingency plan in the risk register, coordinating with the risk owner and team to carry it out.
