PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 79

What is a project issue within a project environment?

Answer options

• A. A negative effect on a project objective arising from occurrence of a threat
• B. A certain event which has a positive or negative impact in the project
• C. A risk which has a significant impact on the project
• D. An uncertain event which may impact the project

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a project issue specifically refers to a negative effect on project objectives due to a threat. Options B and D describe events that may impact the project but do not specifically define a project issue. Option C refers to a risk rather than an issue, as risks may not have yet occurred.
