Project Management Concepts

During project execution, a project manager discovers that the project sponsor will change. What is the first action the project manager should take?

  • B Develop a contingency plan.
  • C Add the change to the risk register.
  • D Execute an impact analysis.
Explanation

A pending change in project sponsorship introduces uncertainty that could affect priorities, funding, or direction, making it a project risk. The first step in risk management is to record the identified risk in the risk register so it can subsequently be analyzed and addressed with mitigation or contingency planning.
