PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 97

Upon returning from vacation, the risk manager observes during the project status meeting that several activities being accomplished were not in the original plan.
What should the risk manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Meet with the project team.
• B. Inform management of out-of-scope work.
• C. Review activities for new risks.
• D. Review the change control log.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because reviewing the change control log will provide insight into any authorized changes made during the risk manager's absence. This step is crucial before taking any further actions, as it helps to understand why these activities are occurring. The other options, while important, should come after confirming the changes documented in the log.
