Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 317

A program has a number of risks that directly impact program benefits. The governance associated with risk management needs to be strong to ensure program benefits are realized.

Which two artifacts should the program manager review and reinforce to enable strong, effective risk management and governance to deliver program benefits? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Risk register and issue log
• B. Program change control
• C. Tolerance and threshold levels
• D. An escalation matrix
• E. Program charter

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, C and D, focus on defining limits and escalation procedures, which are critical for effective risk management. Tolerance and threshold levels help in assessing risk impacts, while an escalation matrix ensures that issues are addressed promptly. The other options, while useful, do not directly enhance the governance framework needed for effective risk management.
