Before a weekly risk meeting with the client, the project manager notices a task with external dependencies is delayed by one week. The manager knows this will have an impact but lacks details. Which two actions should the project manager take? (Choose two.)

The project manager's immediate priority is to understand the full scope of the problem. "Gather additional information and estimate the impact" is crucial because without this, the manager cannot effectively communicate the situation or propose solutions. This aligns with proactive risk management. Once the impact is better understood, "Update the risk log and bring this up in the meeting with the client" is the correct next step. The risk log is the formal record, and transparency with the client is essential, especially before they discover it independently. Discussing with the external supplier's authority might be a later step, but first, the project manager needs to assess the internal project impact. Waiting for the client to raise concerns is reactive and unprofessional. Reviewing lessons learned is valuable for future projects but won't address the immediate, unfolding issue.
