Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 394

Which are the main objectives of Project Risk Management?

Answer options

• A. Increase the probability of positive risks and decrease the probability of negative risks.
• B. Avoid all kind of risks.
• C. Increase the probability of positive risks and eliminate all negative risks.
• D. Identify positive and negative risks.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Project Risk Management aims to maximize opportunities while minimizing threats to the project. Options B and C are incorrect as it's impossible to avoid all risks or eliminate negative ones entirely; rather, the focus is on managing them. Option D, while relevant, does not encompass the proactive management aspect that option A highlights.
