PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 14

A team identifies the number of threats and lists them in the order in which they were identified. After analyzing a cause-and effect diagram, the ownership of the threats and their treatment is assigned, and a number of risk cards are placed on the Kanban board.
What approach should be used to manage these threats?

Answer options

• A. Create a risk register detailing the threats, their causes, and their treatment strategies, and complete ownership to provide together risk control and a stakeholder
• B. Focus on the threats during the daily stand up and ensure they are visible to the entire team and other interested parties
• C. Prioritize the risks based on their criticality and timing, and track actions to closure
• D. Ensure that the prioritization of threats is complete, and that ownership actions are assigned and visible to everyone

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because prioritizing risks based on their criticality and timing allows the team to focus on the most significant threats first and ensures that actions are tracked to resolution. Option A is incorrect as it focuses on documentation rather than active management. Option B emphasizes visibility but lacks prioritization and action tracking. Option D, while addressing prioritization and visibility, does not explicitly mention the importance of tracking actions to closure.
