QUESTION: 271

Which of the following processes addresses the risks by their priorities, schedules the project management plan as required, and inserts resources and activities into the budget?

Monitor and Control Risk
Plan risk response
Identify Risks
Qualitative Risk Analysis

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The plan risk response project management process aims to reduce the threats to the project objectives and to increase opportunities. It follows the perform qualitative risk analysis process and perform quantitative risk analysis process. Plan risk response process includes the risk response owner to take the job for each agreed- to and funded risk response. This process addresses the risks by their priorities, schedules the project management plan as required, and inserts resources and activities into the budget. The inputs to the plan risk response process are as follows:
Risk register
Risk management plan

Incorrect Answers:
A: Monitor and Control Risk is the process of implementing risk response plans, tracking identified risks, monitoring residual risk, identifying new risks, and evaluating risk process effectiveness throughout the project. It can involve choosing alternative strategies, executing a contingency or fallback plan, taking corrective action, and modifying the project management plan.

C: Identify Risks is the process of determining which risks may affect the project. It also documents risks' characteristics. The Identify Risks process is part of the Project Risk Management knowledge area. As new risks may evolve or become known as the project progresses through its life cycle, Identify Risks is an iterative process. The process should involve the project team so that they can develop and maintain a sense of ownership and responsibility for the risks and associated risk response actions. Risk Register is the only output of this process.

D: Qualitative analysis is the definition of risk factors in terms of high/medium/low or a numeric scale (1 to 10). Hence it determines the nature of risk on a relative scale.
Some of the qualitative methods of risk analysis are:

Scenario analysis- This is a forward-looking process that can reflect risk for a given point in time.
Risk Control Self -assessment (RCSA) - RCSA is used by enterprises (like banks) for the identification and evaluation of operational risk exposure. It is a logical first step and assumes that business owners and managers are closest to the issues and have the most expertise as to the source of the risk. RCSA is a constructive process in compelling business owners to contemplate, and then explain, the issues at hand with the added benefit of increasing their accountability.

QUESTION: 272

Out of several risk responses, which of the following risk responses is used for negative risk events?

Share
Enhance
Exploit
Accept

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Among the given choices only Acceptance response is used for negative risk events. Risk acceptance means that no action is taken relative to a particular risk; loss is accepted if it occurs. If an enterprise adopts a risk acceptance, it should carefully consider who can accept the risk. Risk should be accepted only by senior management in relationship with senior management and the board. There are two alternatives to the acceptance strategy, passive and active.
Passive acceptance means that enterprise has made no plan to avoid or mitigate the risk but willing to accept the consequences of the risk.
Active acceptance is the second strategy and might include developing contingency plans and reserves to deal with risks.

Incorrect Answers:
A, B, C: These all are used to deal with opportunities or positive risks, and not with negative risks.

A security breach notification may get delayed due to time difference
The enterprise could not be able to monitor the compliance with its internal security and privacy guidelines
Laws and regulations of the country of origin may not be enforceable in foreign country
Additional network intrusion detection sensors should be installed, resulting in additional cost

Answer(s): C

Hence violation of applicable laws may not be recognized or rectified due to lack of knowledge of the local laws.

Incorrect Answers:
A: Security breach notification is not a problem and also time difference does not play any role in 24/7 environment. Pagers, cellular phones, telephones, etc. are there to communicate the notifications.

B: Outsourcing does not remove the enterprise's responsibility regarding internal requirements. Hence monitoring the compliance with its internal security and privacy guidelines is not a problem.

D: The need for additional network intrusion detection sensors is not a major problem as it can be easily managed. It only requires addition funding, but can be addressed.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

QUESTION: 275

Assessing the probability and consequences of identified risks to the project objectives, assigning a risk score to each risk, and creating a list of prioritized risks describes which of the following processes?

Qualitative Risk Analysis
Plan Risk Management
Identify Risks
Quantitative Risk Analysis

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The purpose of qualitative risk analysis is to determine what impact the identified risk events will have on the project and the probability they'll occur. It also puts risks in priority order according to their effects on the project objectives and assigns a risk score for the project.

Incorrect Answers:
B: Risk Management is used to identify, assess, and control risks. It includes analyzing the value of assets to the business, identifying threats to those assets, and evaluating how vulnerable each asset is to those threats. Assessing the probability and consequences of identified risks is only the part of risk management.

C: It involves listing of all the possible risks so as to cure them before it can occur. In risk identification both threats and opportunities are considered, as both carry some level of risk with them.

D: This process does not involve assessing the probability and consequences of identified risks. Quantitative analysis is the use of numerical and statistical techniques rather than the analysis of verbal material for analyzing risks. Some of the quantitative methods of risk analysis are:
Internal loss method External data analysis
Business process modeling (BPM) and simulation Statistical process control (SPC)
