A project manager is opening a new overseas office. A stakeholder raised potential permit delays; SMEs recommended more time and the CCB agreed. Which document should the project manager update first to record this change?

The correct answer is Risk register. The stakeholder's concern about potential permit delays is an identified risk. The SMEs' recommendation and the CCB's agreement indicate that this risk has been analyzed and a response (adding more time) has been decided. The risk register is the primary document for recording identified risks, their analysis, planned responses, and current status. Updating the schedule baseline would be a subsequent step, reflecting the approved change to the project schedule after the risk has been formally documented and its impact assessed. The scope baseline is incorrect because the core deliverables or features of the project are not changing. The cost baseline is incorrect because while adding time might eventually impact cost, the immediate and direct impact of identifying a potential delay is on the risk profile, not necessarily an immediate change to the approved budget baseline.
