CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 521

A regulatory project is behind schedule, and the project manager informs the steering committee that more resources are needed to complete the automation requirements on time. However, the funding request was rejected. To be in compliance, the project team performs a physical workaround to attempt to complete the project on time. Which of the following is this an example of?

Answer options

• A. Risk mitigation
• B. Risk acceptance
• C. Risk exploitation
• D. Risk avoidance

Correct answer: A

Explanation

This situation exemplifies risk mitigation, as the project team is taking action to reduce the impact of the delay by implementing a workaround. Risk acceptance would imply acknowledging the risk without taking action, while risk exploitation involves taking advantage of a risk, and risk avoidance means eliminating the risk altogether, none of which apply here.
