PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 99

When monitoring the execution quality of risk-related plans and processes, which of the following would be a useful metric to track and record?

Answer options

• A. The number of risks in the project risk register
• B. The degree of variation from the baseline
• C. The number of levels in the risk breakdown structure
• D. The degree of variation from the risk response strategy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The degree of variation from the baseline is crucial as it indicates how closely the project is adhering to its planned risk management strategies. Options A and C focus on counts and structures which do not directly measure execution quality. Option D, while relevant, does not provide a comprehensive view of overall performance against the baseline.
