Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 752

A project manager is assigned to a project. There was a lot of conflict regarding the status of the project and compliance with international regulations. During a regular meeting, the sponsor wanted to know how frequently the risks are being reviewed.

Which document project manager should check first?

Answer options

• A. Risk management plan
• B. Risk register
• C. Issue log
• D. Risk report

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, the Risk management plan, as it outlines how risks will be identified, analyzed, and managed throughout the project lifecycle. The Risk register (B) contains specific risks and their statuses but does not detail the review frequency. The Issue log (C) tracks problems that have arisen, while the Risk report (D) summarizes risk status but is not the primary document for risk management strategies.
