QUESTION: 161

You are the project manager of HWD project. It requires installation of some electrical machines. You and the project team decided to hire an electrician as electrical work can be too dangerous to perform. What type of risk response are you following?

Avoidance
Transference
Mitigation
Acceptance

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

As the risk is transferred to the third party (electrician), hence this type of risk response is transference. Incorrect Answers:

A: Risk avoidance means to evade risk altogether, eliminate the cause of the risk event, or change the project plan to protect the project objectives from the risk event. Risk avoidance is applied when the level of risk, even after the applying controls, would be greater than the risk tolerance level of the enterprise.

C: Risk mitigation attempts to reduce the probability of a risk event and its impacts to an acceptable level. Risk mitigation can utilize various forms of control carefully integrated together.

D: Risk acceptance means that no action is taken relative to a particular risk; loss is accepted if it occurs.

QUESTION: 162

You are the project manager of GHT project. You have implemented an automated tool to analyze and report on access control logs based on severity. This tool generates excessively large amounts of results. You perform a risk assessment and decide to configure the monitoring tool to report only when the alerts are marked "critical". What you should do in order to fulfill that?

Apply risk response
Optimize Key Risk Indicator
Update risk register
Perform quantitative risk analysis

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

As the sensitivity of the monitoring tool has to be changed, therefore it requires optimization of Key Risk Indicator. The monitoring tool which is giving alerts is itself acting as a risk indicator. Hence to change the sensitivity of the monitoring tool to give alert only for critical situations requires optimization of the KRI.

Incorrect Answers:
A, C, D: These options are not relevant to the change of sensitivity of the monitoring tools.

One of the risk events you've identified is classified as force majeure. What risk response is likely to be used?

Acceptance
Transference
Enhance
Mitigation

Answer(s): A

Incorrect Answers:
B: Transference transfers the risk ownership to a third party, usually for a fee. C: Enhance is used for a positive risk event, not for force majeure.
D: Mitigation isn't the best choice, as this lowers the probability and/or impact of the risk event.

QUESTION: 165

You are the project manager for BlueWell Inc. You have noticed that the risk level in your project increases above the risk tolerance level of your enterprise. You have applied several risk responses. Now you have to update the risk register in accordance to risk response process. All of the following are included in the risk register except for which item?

Risk triggers
Agreed-upon response strategies
Network diagram analysis of critical path activities
Risk owners and their responsibility

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The risk register does not examine the network diagram and the critical path. There may be risks associated with the activities on the network diagram, but it does not address the network diagram directly.

The risk register is updated at the end of the plan risk response process with the information that was discovered during the process. The response plans are recorded in the risk register. In the risk register, risk is stated in order of priority, i.e., those with the highest potential for threat or opportunity first. Some risks might not require response plans at all, but then too they should be put on a watch list and monitored throughout the project. Following elements should appear in the risk register:

List of identified risks, including their descriptions, root causes, and how the risks impact the project objectives
Risk owners and their responsibility
Outputs from the Perform Qualitative Analysis process Agreed-upon response strategies
Risk triggers
Cost and schedule activities needed to implement risk responses Contingency plans
Fallback plans, which are risk response plans that are executed when the initial risk response plan proves to be ineffective
Contingency reserves
Residual risk, which is a leftover risk that remains after the risk response strategy has been implemented Secondary risks, which are risks that come about as a result of implementing a risk response
