PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 205

A risk manager assessed all project risks, and the team is now identifying common groupings of risks. What tool or technique is used to perform this risk assessment?

Answer options

• A. Risk breakdown structure (RBS)
• B. Risk probability and impact assessment
• C. Risk register
• D. Risk identification checklist

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Risk breakdown structure (RBS), as it is specifically designed to categorize and organize project risks into manageable groups. The other options, while related to risk management, do not serve the purpose of grouping risks in the same way; for example, the risk register is more about documenting risks rather than categorizing them.
