During the implementation phase of a construction project, a key supplier went bankrupt and cannot supply the contracted material. This issue could affect the project schedule. What should the project manager do first?
A.
Escalate to the management team for delay approval
B.
Add the risk and the delay to the risk register
C.
Update the schedule to include the delay
D.
Update the issue log and act to minimize the impact
D. Update the issue log and act to minimize the impact.
The first thing the project manager should do is to update the issue log to document the issue and assess its impact on the project. The project manager should then take immediate action to minimize the impact of the issue on the project schedule, which may include finding an alternative supplier, adjusting the project schedule, or re-sequencing project activities. Once the project manager has taken steps to minimize the impact of the issue, they should then consider escalating the issue to the management team for delay approval, adding the risk and delay to the risk register, and updating the schedule to include the delay.
Even it is an issue and have to update to issue log but the issue is 'bankruptcy', PM does not have the authority or control to minimise the impact. Based on the professional ethnic and conduct, PM should escalate this issue first to senior management, so I select A
Supplier went bankrupt and unable to supply material > this is already an issue, not a risk.
