PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 103

While preparing for a project review meeting with leadership, the project team analyzes and checks its scope activities and discovers missing requirements. The project risk manager decides to hire a subcontractor to fulfill these newly discovered requirements.
What risk strategy did the project risk manager use?

Answer options

• A. Avoid
• B. Transfer
• C. Accept
• D. Mitigate

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Transfer, because the project risk manager is shifting the responsibility of fulfilling the newly identified requirements to a subcontractor. Options A (Avoid) and C (Accept) do not apply as they do not involve engaging external resources to address risks, while D (Mitigate) would imply the project team directly addressing the risks themselves rather than transferring them.
