PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 129

A project team member identifies, but does not document, a risk early in the project, because it is considered to be trivial. This risk occurs later and negatively impacts the project.
What could the project manager do to avoid this situation?

Answer options

• A. Conduct team meetings early in the project to ensure team member are familiar with risk identification requirements.
• B. Communicate the punishment and rewards policy to the project team during the project kick-off meeting.
• C. Provide project team members with access to simulation tools and decision tree diagrams.
• D. Provide team members with a risk management prompt list early in the project to ensure risks are not missed.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because conducting early team meetings enhances the team's understanding of risk identification, encouraging members to document all potential risks, regardless of perceived significance. Options B, C, and D, while helpful in other contexts, do not directly address the need for comprehensive risk identification and documentation as emphasized in the question.
