NEW QUESTION 106
A company in the mining industry accommodates a lot of innovation and changing work conditions. Because of this, the company experiences difficulty in predicting long term business plans.
How should a professional risk manager manage the risks in such situations?

Adopt a predictive approach to manage the risks.

Adopt agile approaches to manage the risks.

Utilize proper documentation to help manage the risks.

Conduct weekly risk management meetings with all stakeholders.

In a company with rapidly changing work conditions and difficulty in predicting long-term business plans, a professional risk manager should adopt agile approaches to manage the risks (B). Agile approaches allow for flexibility, adaptability, and quick response to changes, making them suitable for managing risks in such situations. This is supported by the PMI’s PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition, and the Agile Practice Guide.
A professional risk manager should adopt agile approaches to manage the risks in situations where the company accommodates a lot of innovation and changing work conditions, and experiences difficulty in predicting long term business plans. Agile approaches are adaptive, iterative, and collaborative methods that focus on delivering value and reducing uncertainty in a dynamic and complex environment. Agile approaches can help the risk manager to identify, analyze, respond, and monitor risks in a flexible and timely manner, by using tools and techniques such as risk-adjusted backlog, risk burndown charts, risk-based spike, and risk- based testing. Agile approaches can also help the risk manager to engage the stakeholders and the project team in risk management activities, by using practices such as daily stand-up meetings, sprint planning, sprint review, and sprint retrospective. Agile approaches can enable the risk manager to manage the risks effectively and efficiently, by aligning the risk management strategy with the project goals and the customer needs.
Adopting a predictive approach to manage the risks is not the best option, as it may not be suitable or feasible for situations where the project scope, schedule, and budget are uncertain or variable. A predictive approach is a plan-driven and sequential method that relies on upfront planning and detailed documentation to manage the risks. A predictive approach may not be able to cope with the frequent changes and emerging risks that may occur in an innovative and dynamic environment. Utilizing proper documentation to help manage the risks is not the best option, as it may not be sufficient or effective for situations where the project requirements and deliverables are evolving or changing. Proper documentation is a useful and necessary component of risk management, but it is not a substitute for agile risk management practices. Proper documentation may not be able to capture and communicate the current and relevant information about the risks and their impacts in a timely and accurate manner. Conducting weekly risk management meetings with all stakeholders is not the best option, as it may not be optimal or efficient for situations where the project risks and opportunities are changing rapidly or frequently. Weekly risk management meetings are a common and beneficial practice for risk management, but they may not be enough or appropriate for agile risk management. Weekly risk management meetings may not be able to address the risks and their responses as soon as they arise or occur, and they may not be able to involve all the relevant and available stakeholders and project team members.

NEW QUESTION 119
During a risk reassessment workshop with the project team and some external stakeholders, two key external stakeholders are overemphasizing the impact of a few project risks. This has led to a conflict.
How should the risk manager handle this situation?

Request for a skilled facilitator to help resolve conflicts that have arise.

Refer to the team’s ground rules on how to resolve conflicts.

Run a sensitivity analysis to check which risks have the most impact.

Use the assumption analysis techniques to validate the assumptions.

According to the PMBOK Guide, one of the tools and techniques for the plan risk management process is ground rules. Ground rules are the rules of conduct or behavior that are established by the project team and other stakeholders to ensure a productive and respectful environment for risk management activities. Ground rules can cover various aspects of risk management, such as roles and responsibilities, communication protocols, decision-making processes, meeting agendas, and conflict resolution methods1. By referring to the team’s ground rules on how to resolve conflicts, the risk manager can handle the situation where two key external stakeholders are overemphasizing the impact of a few project risks. This can help the risk manager to maintain a constructive and collaborative atmosphere in the risk reassessment workshop, as well as to ensure that the risk analysis and prioritization are based on objective and consistent criteria.
Some of the other options are not relevant or appropriate for the question scenario:
Requesting for a skilled facilitator to help resolve conflicts that have arisen is not a feasible or effective option, as it would interrupt the flow of the risk reassessment workshop and delay the risk management process. The risk manager should be able to facilitate the workshop and handle conflicts by themselves, using the tools and techniques that they have planned and agreed upon with the project team and stakeholders.
Running a sensitivity analysis to check which risks have the most impact is a technique for the perform quantitative risk analysis process, which is not applicable in the context of a risk reassessment workshop. A sensitivity analysis is a quantitative method that examines the effect of varying one risk parameter at a time on the project objectives, such as cost or schedule. It is not a tool for resolving conflicts or validating the impact of risks, as it does not consider the interrelationships and dependencies among risks or the probability of risk occurrence1.
Using the assumption analysis technique to validate the assumptions is a technique for the identify risks process, which is not suitable for the situation where conflicts have already arisen in the risk reassessment workshop. An assumption analysis is a technique that explores the validity of the assumptions that are made during the project planning and risk management processes. It is not a tool for resolving conflicts or verifying the impact of risks, as it does not address the root causes or the consequences of the disagreements among the stakeholders1.

What should the project manager do next?

Update the project management plan to add contingency.

Perform an assumptions and constraints analysis.
