I think that since it is decided that the critical task cannot be completed on time, it is an issue and not a risk

Selected Answer: C
It is not an issue yet. Even if it is an issue, it is not in issue log so issue log can be updated but no point of reviewed. Moreover, there is no mentioning of a response action. Option 'C' seems to be better answer in this situation.

Answer should be B because Issue log contains the list of closed and ongoing issues. Issue is just discovered by the developer so not listed in the issue log yet.

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY. EVER HEARD OF SECONDARY RISKS? FROM PMBOK? CHECK THE REGISTER AND CHECK FOR APPROPRIATE ACTIONS. THIS IS MUCH MORE PROACTIVE RATHER THAN REVIEWING A DOCUMENT WITH A TEAMMATE. LOOK FOR ACTIONS PEOPLE!

If the solution to the critical problem(risk response) is already present in the risk register, then reviewing the risk register with the team member (Option C) can be an efficient approach to quickly address the issue. This would allow the project manager and the team member to identify the response actions and apply them promptly.

Selected Answer: B
Option C, reviewing the risk register with the team member to find the proper response action for this issue, is not the most appropriate action in this situation. This is because the issue is already happening, and the team member is currently facing it. The risk register is used to track potential risks to the project, and it is used to develop mitigation plans for those risks. However, in this situation, the risk has already happened, and the team member is currently facing it. Therefore, the risk register is not the best tool to use to address this issue.

The key word is "critical problem". It is no more risk but an issue. So I will go with B.

C looks more related as it provides an resolution rather than an update to issue log.
