Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Close the work package and reassign the work to another team
Why it's wrong here
Closing the work package is not the immediate response; assessment is needed first.
- ✓
Assess the impact on stage tolerances and take corrective action if within tolerance
Why this is correct
The Project Manager manages within tolerances and escalates if exceeded.
- ✗
Immediately raise an Exception Report to the Project Board
Why it's wrong here
This is only necessary if the delay exceeds stage tolerances.
- ✗
Instruct the Team Manager to continue as planned and report progress in the next Checkpoint Report
Why it's wrong here
Ignoring the delay is not appropriate; the PM must assess and act.
