PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 32

After applying several risk identification techniques, the risk manager is ready to document project risks in the risk register, including risk name, risk statement, probability of occurring, and potential impact. After this information is complete, who is best suited to serve as risk owners?

Answer options

• A. Risk manager
• B. Project sponsors
• C. Project manager
• D. Project team members

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Project team members are the most suitable risk owners as they are directly involved in the project and understand the specific risks associated with their tasks. While the risk manager, project sponsors, and project manager play important roles in risk management, they are not as closely connected to the day-to-day execution of the project, making them less ideal for this responsibility.
