Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 1330

John works as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. He is determining which risks can affect the project. Which of the following inputs of the identify risks process is useful in identifying risks associated to the time allowances for the activities or projects as a whole, with a width of the range indicating the degrees of risk?

Answer options

• A. Activity duration estimates
• B. Activity cost estimates
• C. Risk management plan
• D. Schedule management plan

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, Activity duration estimates, provides insights into the potential time-related risks by showing how long tasks are expected to take, which can indicate the variability and risk involved. Activity cost estimates focus on financial risks rather than time, the risk management plan outlines the overall approach to risks but does not provide specific time-related insights, and the schedule management plan primarily deals with managing the schedule rather than identifying risks.
