What technique would a project manager use to deal with low-impact project issues that do not require immediate attention?

Escalation
Adaptive management
Monitoring
Passive avoidance

The correct answer is: Monitoring

The technique of monitoring is particularly effective for managing low-impact project issues that do not demand immediate action. This approach involves keeping a close watch on project progress and issues, enabling the project manager to gather data and assess the situation without feeling the pressure to act right away. Monitoring allows the project manager to identify trends, potential risks, and the impact of current issues over time. By continuously observing these low-impact issues, the project manager can decide later whether any action is necessary or if the issues will resolve on their own as the project progresses. In contrast, escalation involves raising high-impact or urgent issues to higher management levels for resolution, which is not suitable for low-impact issues. Adaptive management is a more proactive approach focused on adjusting plans based on real-time data and analysis, typically used in more complex scenarios. Passive avoidance refers to ignoring an issue completely, which does not align with the goal of effectively managing even low-impact problems, as it could lead to larger issues later on. Monitoring strikes the right balance by keeping track of the situation without necessitating immediate remedial measures.
