Mary is a project manager in her organization. On her current project she is working with her project team and other key stakeholders to identify the risks within the project. She is currently aiming to create a comprehensive list of project risks so she is using a facilitator to help generate ideas about project risks. What risk identification method is Mary likely using?

Answer options

• A. Delphi Techniques
• B. Expert judgment
• C. Brainstorming
• D. Checklist analysis

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Brainstorming, as it involves gathering a group to generate ideas freely, which aligns with Mary's use of a facilitator. Option A, Delphi Techniques, involves anonymous input from experts rather than a group session. Option B, Expert judgment, relies on individual experience rather than group idea generation. Option D, Checklist analysis, uses predefined lists rather than dynamic idea generation.
