A. B. C. D.A.
When a task on the critical path is at risk of not being completed on time, the project manager must take immediate action to prevent any delay in the project completion date. The project manager must review the project schedule and risk register to identify the risks associated with the task.
Since the project completion date and quality of the deliverable cannot change, the project manager must find a way to complete the task on time while ensuring the quality of the deliverable. Therefore, the next step that the project manager should take is to issue a change request.
A change request is a formal document that outlines a proposed change in the project plan, scope, or schedule. By issuing a change request, the project manager can request additional resources, such as additional staff or equipment, to complete the task on time.
Before issuing a change request, the project manager must ensure that the proposed change will not affect the project completion date or quality of the deliverable. The project manager should also update the issue log to document the issue and the corrective action taken.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Issue a change request.
