Free PMI PMI-RMP Actual Exam Questions - Question 7 Discussion
requested the risks be sorted differently from the results presented by the project team. This is a
major issue and will cause a 2-week delay in the project.
How could the risk manager have avoided the board's response?
A/D? Involving key stakeholders upfront (A) definitely helps avoid surprises like this since they get to weigh in on the risk ranking. But using a recognized industry method (D) could also have kept things objective and easier to defend, making the board less likely to ask for changes. Just relying on the sponsor’s opinion (C) might miss input from other important stakeholders, and focusing only on the sponsor’s risk appetite (B) seems too narrow here. So combining stakeholder engagement with a solid prioritization method feels like the best way to prevent these delays.
D, using a standard method might have prevented surprises and saved time.
C I think checking with the sponsor first might have revealed their preferences and prevented the board’s pushback, saving time before the full presentation. It’s a smaller step that could catch big issues early.
I see the point about A, but wouldn’t C also help? Checking with the project sponsor first might catch any major concerns before going to the board. Could that shortcut the delay?
Good point brought up about the sponsor’s role, but I think D is worth considering too. Using a standard method might have made the prioritization more transparent and acceptable to the board upfront. D
It’s C. Checking with the project sponsor first could’ve caught the board’s preferences early, avoiding the delay. This way, the sponsor acts as a filter before reaching the board.
Option A seems best to involve stakeholders early on.
