PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 42

A project manager identifies a risk in a multifunctional project and decides to take no action. What should the risk manager do if the risk occurs?

Answer options

• A. Implement a workaround.
• B. Create a change request.
• C. Implement a contingency or fallback plan.
• D. Review the project management plan.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

When the risk occurs, the risk manager should implement a workaround to address the issue effectively. The other options, such as creating a change request or reviewing the project management plan, do not provide immediate solutions to the risk that has already manifested, while implementing a contingency or fallback plan may not be appropriate if no prior planning was done.
