Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 395

A project receives budget approval, but the risk of extra costs is expected. Which of these inputs should the project manager check in order to make a qualitative risk analysis?

Answer options

• A. The risk management plan and the assumption log
• B. Costs estimates and cost forecasts
• C. The risk management plan and the basis of estimates
• D. The assumption log and the project charter

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the risk management plan outlines how risks will be managed, and the assumption log records assumptions that could impact risks. Options B, C, and D do not provide the necessary focus on risk management for qualitative analysis.
