ent on a project?

A) Risk management is done to increase the probability and/or impact of positive ri

sks.
B) Risk management is done to decrease negative risks' probability and/or impact.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


C) Risk management is done to minimize all risks.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


D) Risk management increases the probability and/or impact of positive risks and d

v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


ecreases the probability and/or impact of negative risks.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




The objectives of project risk management include increasing the probability and/or
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v


impact of positive risks and decreasing the probability and/or impact of negative ris

ks.

While discussing risk management with a team member, what should the project m
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


anager say about the different risk levels?
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




A) There are two levels: individual project risks and overall project risks.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


B) There is only one level of risk: individual project risks.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


C) There is only one level of risk: overall project risks.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


D There are two levels: project risks and operations risks. - ANSWERS-
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


A) There are two levels: individual project risks and overall project risks.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




The risk management process in the PMBOK lists two levels of project risks: indivi
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


dual and overall project risks.
v5 v5 v5 v5




Which of the following statements is false regarding how risk will affect the project?
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




A) Risk will continue to emerge during the lifetime of the project
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


B) Risks should be monitored and managed as the project progresses
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


C) Risk identification should only be done at the beginning of the project
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


D) Risk identification is done throughout the project - ANSWERS-
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


C) Risk identification should only be done at the beginning of the project
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




Risk identification is done throughout the project. As the project progresses, new ri
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


sks will emerge and will have to be assessed by the project team.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




The project manager knows managing risks is an important part of a project. One
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


of the most important aspects is documenting the stakeholders' risk appetite. Wher
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


e would the project manager document the stakeholders' risk appetite?
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5

, A) In the stakeholders' engagement plan
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


B) In the scope management plan
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


C) In the risk management plan
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


D) In the risk register - ANSWERS-C) In the risk management plan
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




The stakeholders' risk appetite is documented and stored in the risk management
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


plan. The stakeholders' risk appetite is an important component of the plan since it
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v


will help determine what risks will be acceptable.
5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




The project team members are reviewing the risk in the risk register to determine
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


which risks will have the greatest impact on a project. One risk, in particular, has a
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v


very high impact, but the team has determined that this risk should be ranked very
5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


low on the project. What statement best describes why this risk is ranked so low?
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




A) The probability of the risk occurring is low
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


B) The project team is not familiar with the risk
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


C) The risks will take place in the far future of the project
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


D) They are using the wrong methods to assess the risks - ANSWERS-
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


A) The probability of the risk occurring is low
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




Some risks may likely have a high impact and a low probability, leading to the risk
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


being ranked very low. An example is an earthquake in New York City.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




The impact may be high, but the probability of it occurring may be very low, which
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


leads to the risk being ranked lower.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




The project team members are currently doing the process of performing a qualitati
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


ve risk analysis. They would like to use a tool that could not only display the proba
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


bility of the risks or impact but the overall likelihood of the risks. What tool can be
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


used to display the three parameters?
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




A) Probability and impact matrix
v5 v5 v5 v5


B) Probability and impact assessment
v5 v5 v5 v5


C) Bubble chart
v5 v5


D) Ishikawa diagram - ANSWERS-C) Bubble chart
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




A bubble chart is part of the tool data representation. It is used to display three di
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


mensions of data. All other choices may only display two dimensions.
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




While conducting a brainstorming session with the team to rank the risks, the proje
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


ct manager is worried about the data the team uses to rank the risks. The project
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


manager feels that some team members may only be speculating about the proba
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


bility of risks. What tool can best help the project manager in this scenario?
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5 v5




A) Risks probability and impact assessment
v5 v5 v5 v5 v5


B) Risk data quality assessment
v5 v5 v5 v5


C) Probability and impact matrix
v5 v5 v5 v5


D) Hierarchical charts - ANSWERS-B) Risk data quality assessment
