A key supplier has announced a delay in their delivery schedule, which will impact the critical path of the project. As a project manager, what is your NEXT step to manage the impact on the project?
Recommend adjustments to the project scope/backlog to accommodate the new delivery schedule
Reduce the project quality standards to maintain the schedule
Escalate the problem to the project sponsor as this deals with critical path
Ignore the delay since the supplier should catch up
The correct step is to recommend options for scope/backlog changes to cope with the supplier's schedule change. This may involve resequencing project work, adjusting timelines, or altering the backlog items to accommodate the delay while still aiming to meet project objectives.
