PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 63

At an oil and gas company, a major unified management information system is to be implemented. The project manager noted that risks gathered from the organization’s business functions are not properly identified and categorized, making it difficult to develop an effective risk response.

How should the project manager handle this situation?

Answer options

• A. Adjust the risk response plans to effectively handle the identified risks.
• B. Outsource conducting the risk response plan to risk consultants.
• C. Ask functional managers to improve the risk register and process.
• D. Coach the functional groups on how to properly conduct the process.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because coaching the functional groups ensures that they understand how to identify and categorize risks properly, leading to improved risk management. Options A, B, and C do not address the root issue of inadequate risk identification and categorization, which is crucial for developing effective responses.
