Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If actual progress falls behind planned progress or unexpected events occur, the project manager should take immediate action to address the issue, adjust the plan if necessary, and communicate with project stakeholders to ensure everyone is aware of any changes or impacts on the project. Simply watching to see what happens or requesting more funds without taking action to address the issue is not effective project management. An immediate meeting with stakeholders may not be necessary if the issue can be resolved quickly by the project manager.
