A company has decided to implement a new archiving system. A data breach occurred during the implementation of the project.
What should the project manager do first?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The project manager should first implement the planned risk response to handle the issue of data breach, which is a negative risk or threat to the project. The project manager should have identified, analyzed, and planned for such a risk in the risk management process and documented the appropriate risk response strategy and actions in the risk register. Implementing the risk response will help to minimize the impact of the risk on the project objectives and stakeholders. Asking the team to fix the system, updating the risk register, or reviewing alternative documentation methods are not the first actions to take, as they may not address the root cause or the severity of the issue, or they may be part of the risk response implementation.
