PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 38

A project manager is creating a risk management plan, but participants in a group meeting are hesitant to express their concerns. What will encourage participants to offer their opinions?

Answer options

• A. Brainstorming
• B. Monte Carlo simulation
• C. Interviews
• D. Nominal group technique

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Nominal Group Technique (D) is effective because it allows individuals to contribute ideas anonymously, reducing hesitation. Brainstorming (A) can sometimes lead to dominant voices overshadowing quieter participants. Monte Carlo simulation (B) is a quantitative risk analysis tool and does not directly encourage participation. Interviews (C) are one-on-one discussions and do not facilitate group input.
