PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 71

Several key stakeholders approach the project manager with concerns. The stakeholders have received feedback from local businesses that have reported a reduction in customers because of construction activities at the worksite, and they plan to submit a claim to the municipality to fine the project manager’s company.

How should the project manager address this concern?

Answer options

• A. Adjust construction work hours to after business hours.
• B. Evaluate the risk with the team and update the issue log.
• C. Update the key risks and perform a quantitative risk analysis.
• D. Discuss the concern with the local business owners.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it emphasizes evaluating the risks associated with the situation and updating the issue log to reflect stakeholder concerns. Adjusting construction hours (A) may not fully address the underlying issue, while updating risks (C) without assessment isn't proactive. Discussing with local business owners (D) could be helpful but doesn't systematically manage the risk.
