PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 57

The project’s customer has stated the project must be completed by a date indicated as the P90 date established on the Monte Carlo analysis. What should the project manager do to ensure the P90 date is met?

Answer options

• A. Perform a qualitative risk analysis for the project
• B. Update the assumptions/exclusions register
• C. Mitigate risks identified on the sensitivity analysis
• D. Hire more resources and crash the schedule

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because mitigating risks identified in the sensitivity analysis directly addresses potential issues that could delay the project, ensuring the P90 date is more likely to be met. Option A is incorrect as qualitative risk analysis does not directly ensure deadlines are met. Option B is irrelevant to the timeline, and option D, while it might help, could lead to increased costs without addressing the underlying risks.
