PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 192

A project with a tight deadline faces the risk of unexpected resource unavailability due to overlapping commitments across departments. The risk manager activates a pre-approved mitigation plan to redistribute workload among available team members and hire temporary external support. The team must implement the plan to ensure minimal disruption to the project timeline.

What should the risk manager do?

Answer options

• A. Update the stakeholder register to accurately reflect any resource changes.
• B. Delegate tasks appropriately and monitor the implementation closely for effectiveness.
• C. Identify alternative solutions while monitoring resource availability before implementing actions.
• D. Revisit the project scope carefully to address potential resource shortages.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, emphasizes the importance of delegating tasks and monitoring their execution to ensure the plan's effectiveness. Options A and D focus on documentation and scope adjustment, which are not immediate actions required for implementing the mitigation plan. Option C suggests identifying alternatives rather than executing the approved plan, which is not the priority at this stage.
