Explanation
Meeting with the traffic authority staff responsible for the new regulation allows the project manager and risk manager to understand the potential changes and their impact on the project. This will help them proactively address any potential issues and ensure the project complies with the new regulations. The project manager and the risk manager should handle this situation by meeting with the traffic authority staff in charge of the new regulation. This is because: The new traffic regulation is an external risk that could affect the project objectives, such as scope, schedule, cost, quality, and customer satisfaction. External risks are those that arise from outside the project boundaries and are beyond the control of the project team. Examples of external risks include changes in government policies, regulations, laws, market conditions, environmental factors, etc. The project manager and the risk manager should proactively engage with the external stakeholders who have the power and influence to create or modify the external risks. By meeting with the traffic authority staff, they can establish a positive relationship, gain insights into the new regulation, and influence its development to align with the project needs. They can also obtain information on the probability and impact of the risk, as well as the potential response strategies.
