The project schedule is updated after the issue is logged and its impact on timeline is assessed, not as the immediate first step.

Once a risk materializes into an actual event, it is no longer a potential risk but an active issue requiring immediate tracking and resolution. The issue log is the designated document for capturing active problems that are currently impacting the project. Updating the issue log first ensures the problem is formally recorded, assigned, and managed before any secondary updates to schedule or other documents.

The risk register was already updated when the risk was first identified - once the event occurs, it becomes an active issue, not a pending risk.

The scope statement defines project boundaries and deliverables and is not used to track active operational problems.
