Explanation
When client experts express concern about specific activities at a critical stage, the risk manager's first responsibility is to understand and assess the risk associated with that concern before taking any action. Conducting a risk assessment for the critical stage identifies what risks exist, their probability, and their potential impact-providing the evidence needed to decide whether to change the plan, add time, or adjust the WBS. Updating the quality plan, revising the WBS, or adding time are potential responses, but they should only follow a risk assessment that justifies those actions.
