PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 101

During a meeting to develop the risk management plan, the risk manager recognizes that risks may be identified that could also impact other projects that the company is pursuing. What should the risk manager do?

Answer options

• A. Take note of the extensive impact of these risks in the risk register
• B. Address the unique characteristics of these risks on a case-by-case basis
• C. Include an escalation process in the risk management plan
• D. Contact the risk managers of the other projects and inform them

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because informing the risk managers of other projects allows for a coordinated approach to risk management across initiatives. Option A is incorrect as simply noting the impact does not facilitate proactive risk management. Option B fails to recognize the need for communication between projects, and option C, while useful, does not directly address the need for collaboration with other project teams.
