Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 444

A project manager for a technologically complex engagement reviews the key project indicators with the main stakeholders on a regular basis. During one of the meetings, the project sponsor explains that they are using the project manager's risk register as a way to communicate about the project at the executive level.
How should the project manager ensure that project risks are reported accurately in the risk register?

Answer options

• A. Update the risks in the risk management plan
• B. Review the risks throughout project execution
• C. List the project risks identified in the kick-off meeting
• D. Plan to update the risks at project closure

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because continuous assessment of risks throughout project execution allows for timely updates and accurate reporting in the risk register. Options A, C, and D do not provide ongoing tracking or updating of risks, which is essential for accurate communication with stakeholders.
