PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 91

A company president is concerned about the impact of a natural disaster on the company.
How should management identify areas to apply its resources and mitigate potential impacts?

Answer options

• A. Establish and keep an active risk register that includes mitigation strategies and a cost-benefit analysis
• B. Establish and keep an active risk register based on qualitative risk analysis and expected losses
• C. Have each development team post the highest risk development items on the information radiator
• D. Avoid risk by splitting development teams into two locations to ensure knowledge continuity

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because a risk register with mitigation strategies and a cost-benefit analysis helps prioritize resource allocation effectively. Option B, while useful, lacks the cost-benefit analysis that is critical for informed decision-making. Option C focuses only on visibility of risks without strategic resource application, and Option D may not be the most effective approach to mitigate risks associated with a natural disaster.
