If we are taling about the FIRST step the PM needs to take: from my perspective it has to be investigated why a critical stakeholder was not consulted and this issue has to be corrected. Then the second step the PM needs to take: he/she needs to organize new schedule framing meeting with the critical stakeholder.

Question states "do first" = immediate proactive action to resolve the situation. Rather than RCA, engaging the stakeholder is the most immediate action to take to resolve the issue at hand.

While a proactive measure for the future, understanding the root cause doesn't immediately fix the scheduling clash and further delays resolution.

Analyzing the root cause of the issue and updating the communications management plan (option C) may be relevant for addressing communication gaps or issues, but the immediate priority is to address the stakeholder's concerns regarding the project schedule.

By involving the critical stakeholder in a new schedule framing meeting, the project manager can gather their input and considerations, ensuring that their schedule constraints and commitments are taken into account. This promotes collaboration and helps in creating a more realistic and feasible project schedule.
