PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 100

The risk manager and the project team conduct a risk brainstorming session for a new project. The risk manager wants to involve the entire project team in a group risk prioritization exercise for the identified risks. The project manager refuses the involvement of the entire project team due to resource concerns.
What should the risk manager do?

Answer options

• A. Convince the project manager of the importance of the whole project team's involvement in the full risk process.
• B. Continue to involve the project team in the risk prioritization process and then discuss lessons learned with the project manager.
• C. Follow the project manager's instruction, as the project manager is the responsible party.
• D. Inform the sponsor about the project manager's decision and the disagreement between parties.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it emphasizes the significance of involving the entire project team in the risk management process, which can lead to better identification and prioritization of risks. Options B and C do not address the importance of team involvement, while D involves escalating the issue rather than resolving it collaboratively.
