A company is working on a project to develop an integration of their existing systems.

 When a project involves integration of existing systems, especially when there are known issues in production, it is crucial for the project manager to identify and remove impediments and mitigate the risks. This approach is aligned with the principles of project management which emphasize the importance of addressing and managing risks proactively. The project manager should work on identifying the root causes of the issues and take corrective actions to ensure that the project objectives are met without significant delays or quality problems.
