Question
A project manager managing a high-risk rating project was just informed that one of the key project resources has decided to leave the organization.

The risk manager was informed that by transitioning the responsibilities to the new resource, new risks to the completion dates of other project-related tasks appear. What should the risk manager advise the project manager?

Explanation
In this situation, the departure of a key project resource was an anticipated risk, and a transition plan was established as a response. However, implementing this plan has introduced new risks, known as secondary risks, which may impact the completion dates of other project-related tasks. According to PMI's risk management framework, it's essential to address these secondary risks in alignment with the predefined risk management plan. This involves assessing the new risks' probabilities and impacts, determining appropriate response strategies, and updating the risk register accordingly. By systematically managing secondary risks as outlined in the risk management plan, the project manager can mitigate potential adverse effects on the project's schedule and objectives.
