A. Assess the schedule and update the risk register.
By assessing the schedule, the project manager can determine the extent of the delay's impact on the overall project timeline and other subcontractors. Updating the risk register will help document the potential risk and its implications, allowing for informed decision-making and communication with stakeholders moving forward.
Assessing the schedule and updating the risk register is the most immediate and practical step for the project manager. This involves evaluating the impact of the likely delay, identifying potential risks to the project timeline, and documenting these in the risk register. This assessment provides a foundation for informed decision-making and proactive risk management. Once the project manager has a clear understanding of the situation, they can then take appropriate actions, such as adjusting the schedule, communicating with subcontractors, and escalating the issue if necessary.
