PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP) — Question 48

Harry works as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. A risk that has been identified and analyzed in the project planning processes is now coming into fruition. Who among the following is responsible for implementing the risk responses or contingency plan?

Answer options

• A. Risk owner
• B. Harry
• C. Project sponsor
• D. Subject matter expert

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The risk owner is specifically designated to manage risk responses and implement contingency plans when risks materialize. While Harry, the project manager, oversees the project, the direct responsibility for executing risk responses lies with the risk owner. The project sponsor and subject matter expert may provide support, but they are not responsible for implementing the plans.
