    PMP · Question 83 · Task 16: Ensure knowledge transfer for project continuity

    A project manager is working on a project where a critical team member has accepted a position with another company and will be leaving in two weeks. This person has unique knowledge that is essential for project completion. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    Work with the departing team member to identify and document critical knowledge and create a knowledge transfer plan

    C.

    Assess the impact on project timeline and communicate delays to stakeholders

    D.

    Negotiate with the team member's new employer to delay their start date
