PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 91

The risk manager for a project successfully establishes the risk management plan, the risk register and performs the qualitative risk analysis with the team. As the first step of the analysis, the risk manager develops the probability and impact scales. The scales are presented to the project manager, who refuses to accept the proposed scales.
What did the risk manager overlook prior to developing probability and impact scales?

Answer options

• A. Gaining approvals for the developed risk register from the project manager
• B. Informing the project manager about the risk management process
• C. Evaluating and understanding the risk appetite of the stakeholders
• D. Interviewing the stakeholders and related parties

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the risk manager should have informed the project manager about the risk management process to ensure alignment and acceptance. Options A, C, and D, while important, do not directly relate to the immediate issue of the project manager's refusal to accept the scales.
