GIAC Certified Project Manager (GCPM) — Question 1

Lamont is the project manager of a project that has recently finished the final project deliverables. The project customer has signed off on the project deliverable and Lamont has a few administrative closure activities to complete. In the project, there were several large risks that could have wrecked the project but Lamont and his project team found some creative methods to resolve the risks without affecting the project costs or project end date. What should Lamont do with the risk responses he identified during the project's monitoring and controlling process?

Answer options

• A. Include the risk response in the project risk management plan.
• B. Include the risk responses in the organization's lessons learned database.
• C. Nothing. The risk responses are included in the project's risk register already.
• D. Include the responses in the project management plan.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because documenting the risk responses in the organization's lessons learned database helps future projects benefit from the insights gained. Options A and D are not ideal since they do not facilitate knowledge sharing beyond the project. Option C is incorrect because while the risk register may contain the responses, it's essential to capture them in a broader context for organizational learning.
