PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 67

A project manager has finished the project charter for a project and has now moved into the planning phase. In the first planning meeting, the project manager is trying to determine the risk tolerance and risk attitudes of the project’s key stakeholders.

What is the first resource the project manager should reference?

Answer options

• A. Benefits management plan
• B. Project charter
• C. Enterprise environmental factors (EEFs)
• D. Requirements management plan

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The project charter is the foundational document that outlines the project's objectives and stakeholder expectations, making it the first resource to refer to when assessing risk tolerance. The benefits management plan, enterprise environmental factors, and requirements management plan may provide valuable information, but they do not directly address the initial stakeholder attitudes and risks as effectively as the project charter.
