PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 161

A risk manager is collaborating with project stakeholders and the project team to identify risks in a construction project. The risk manager intends to use an approach that engages stakeholders based on information, such as scope baseline and project estimates, while also determining risk impacts based on this approach.

Which risk identification approach should the risk manager use to achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Delphi technique
• B. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis
• C. Assumptions and constraints analysis
• D. Brainstorming technique

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Delphi technique is the correct choice as it systematically gathers expert opinions and feedback from stakeholders based on their knowledge, which aligns with the goal of using project information. The other options, while useful in different contexts, do not specifically engage stakeholders in the same informed manner as the Delphi technique does.
