Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 72

The number of emerging risks increases in a component project and the program manager falls behind in reviewing and approving the plans. This impacts the component project manager's ability to effectively address the risks.
In this situation, what should the program manager change about the risk management plan?

Answer options

• A. Allow the component project manager to delegate risk management responsibilities.
• B. Assign the resolution of project-level risks to the component project manager.
• C. Include risk escalation policies and procedures in the risk response plan.
• D. Increase flexibility with risks that require a risk response.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as allowing the component project manager to delegate risk management responsibilities can help distribute the workload and ensure timely attention to emerging risks. The other options do not address the immediate issue of the program manager's capacity to manage the increasing number of risks effectively.
