Halfway through a marketing campaign, the team has logged several new impediments in the issue register while others have been resolved. As the project manager, why does the PMP Exam Content Outline emphasize continually reassessing impediments, obstacles, and blockers rather than reviewing them only at the next phase gate?
To keep the project timeline updated
To prepare status reports
To dynamically adjust strategies for issue resolution as project conditions change
Continual reassessment is essential because it allows the project manager to adapt removal strategies in real time as project conditions and priorities evolve. This proactive approach keeps emerging issues from blocking work for long, supports timely escalation or re-prioritization, and aligns with the ECO directive to "re-assess continually". Merely updating the timeline, preparing status reports, or reallocating resources are important activities but do not directly ensure that impediment-removal tactics remain effective when circumstances change.
