PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 48

A certain risk is identified for a major project, and the risk response is planned. However, the analysis reveals a high probability for a secondary risk which will be tolerated based on the organization’s risk thresholds. The secondary risk is subsequently registered. During project execution, the primary risk occurs, the planned action is taken, and the secondary risk emerges.

What two actions should the risk owner take? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Update and communicate assessments of the secondary risk’s impact.
• B. Implement the secondary risk response and update the project documents.
• C. Set the corresponding trigger conditions to the secondary risk.
• D. Engage the project manager to authorize the secondary risk’s response.
• E. Conduct meeting with all stakeholder to agree on post impact solutions.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct actions are to update and communicate assessments of the secondary risk’s impact (A) and to implement the secondary risk response and update the project documents (B). These steps are essential to ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the new risk implications and that the project documentation reflects the current risk landscape. The other options do not directly address the immediate needs following the emergence of the secondary risk.
