PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 118

When considering human factors and risk attitudes relative to the risk process, which approach should be used to influence the risk management process for optimal effects at the individual and group levels?

Answer options

• A. Agile
• B. Reactive
• C. Ongoing
• D. Proactive

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The proactive approach is most effective because it anticipates risks and implements measures before issues arise, thereby optimizing outcomes. In contrast, reactive strategies respond to risks after they occur, while ongoing approaches focus on continuous assessment without a clear anticipatory framework, making them less effective in managing risks.
