## Scenario A company is implementing a cloud-based procurement system across three regional offices. The project is in the execution phase, and testing has revealed intermittent integration failures with the finance platform in one region. At the same time, a new data privacy regulation is expected to be enacted within two months, which could require additional controls. A key vendor has also informed the project manager that some specialized technical resources may not be available during the next sprint due to competing priorities. The sponsor remains committed to the original go-live date because the current legacy system is costly to maintain. ### Question 1 What should the project manager do first? A. Escalate the issue to the sponsor and request a delay in go-live B. Update the risk register with the identified threats and assess probability and impact C. Replace the vendor immediately with another supplier D. Remove the affected region from the current rollout scope
