PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 80

A risk is identified early in the project. After six months, it is determined that the risk does not apply to this particular project.
How should the risk be handled by the risk manager?

Answer options

• A. Ignore the risk and concentrate only on the pertinent risks.
• B. Remove the risk from the risk register and inform the project manager that it is no longer valid.
• C. Close the risk during the next risk board meeting and keep it in the risk register.
• D. Conduct a risk analysis to determine how an inappropriate risk was formally accepted.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as closing the risk during the next risk board meeting while keeping it in the risk register allows for proper documentation and tracking. Option A is incorrect because ignoring a risk can lead to issues later on. Option B fails to recognize the need for formal closure in a meeting context, and option D suggests unnecessary analysis after a determination has been made.
