PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 157

A risk manager has been assigned to a new project and learns that stakeholders and project team members are spread across multiple time zones. Furthermore, many project team members have not worked together in the past. These items are identified as potential risks and added to the risk register.

How should the risk manager improve collaboration during risk planning?

Answer options

• A. Work with the project manager to develop a start-up workshop and colocate the team if permitted.
• B. Create a repository for project documents and related artifacts that can be accessed by all parties.
• C. Communicate program metrics to all parties and create a scorecard to measure the effectiveness.
• D. Gather risk information from all parties and compile all submissions into a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis template.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because creating a repository allows all team members to access necessary documents and artifacts, which is crucial for effective collaboration, especially across time zones. Option A, while helpful, may not be feasible; option C focuses on metrics rather than collaboration tools; and option D, although useful for risk analysis, does not directly enhance collaboration among the team.
