Exam PK0-004 topic 1 question 734 discussion

Add the risk to the risk register. The potential elimination of staff positions is a risk to the project, and therefore, it should be added to the risk register. This will allow the project manager to assess the likelihood and impact of the risk and develop a risk response plan if necessary. Once the risk has been added to the risk register, the project manager may then communicate the concern with the project sponsor, identify replacement resources, and review and update the project schedule as needed.

The best next step for the project manager to take is to communicate the concern with the project sponsor. The project sponsor is responsible for providing the necessary resources and support for the project and should be informed about any potential changes to the project that may impact staffing. The project manager should explain the situation to the project sponsor and discuss the potential impact on the project. Together, they can determine the best course of action and make any necessary adjustments to the project plan. Other steps, such as identifying replacement resources, reviewing and updating the project schedule, and adding the risk to the risk register, may also be necessary, but communicating with the project sponsor should be the first step.
