PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 37

The senior risk manager hears that critical deliverables are delayed, because a key subject matter expert (SME) does not have enough time to allocate to the tasks. Which area should be reviewed, as an opportunity for the risk manager to coach the project manager responsible for the project?

Answer options

• A. Scope reduction to reduce SME reliance
• B. Risk management plan and planned risks responses
• C. Risk identification process and participation
• D. Detailed review of the project schedule before approval

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because reviewing the risk identification process and participant involvement can help ensure that all potential risks, including those related to SME availability, are recognized. Options A, B, and D do not directly address the underlying issue of SME time allocation and how it impacts project deliverables.
