Q

What are the objectives of the project risk management knowledge area?

A

Project risk management includes the processes of conducting risk management, planning, identification analysis, response planning, response implementation and monitoring risk on a project. The objectives of project risk management are to increase the probability and or impact of positive risks and to decrease the probability and or impact of negative risks in order to optimize the chances of project success.

Q

How can variability risks be addressed?

A

Variability risks can be addressed through Monte Carlo analysis where a model is created to simulate conditions. The range of variation is illustrated in probability distributions. Actions are suggested to reduce the spread of possible outcomes.

Q

How is SWOT analysis performed?

A

The technique starts with the identification of strengths and weaknesses of the organization, focusing on either the project organization or the business area in general.

A

Escalate
Avoid
Transfer
Mitigate
Except

48
Q

What is the escalate strategy for threats in the plan risk responses process?

A

49
Q

What is the avoid strategy for threats in the plan risk responses process?

A

Risk avoidance takes place when the project team acts to eliminate the fret or protect the project from its impact

50
Q

What is the transfer strategy for threats in the plan risk responses process?

A

Transfer involves shifting ownership of a threat to a third party to manage the risk and to bear the impact if the threat occurs

51
Q

What is the mitigate strategy for threats in the planet risk responses process?

A

Mitigate: action is taken to reduce the probability of occurence and/or impact of a threat

52
Q

What is the accept strategy for threats in the plan risk responses process?

A

Except is to acknowledge the existence of a threat but no proactive action is taken. This strategy may be appropriate for low priority threats and it may be also adopted where it is not possible or cost effective to address a threat.

53
Q

What are the five strategies for opportunities in the plan risk responses process?

A

Escalate
Exploit
Share
Enhance
Except

54
Q

What is the escalade strategy for opportunities in the plan risk responses process?

A

Escalated opportunities are not managed and the project level since they exceed the project manager’s authority there instead of communicated to those in the program portfolio or other relevant part of the organization.

55
Q

What is the exploit strategy for opportunities in the plan risk responses process?

A

The exploit strategy may be selected for high priority opportunities where the organization wants to ensure that the opportunity is realized this strategy seeks a 100% chance of realizing an opportunity.

56
Q

What is the share strategy for opportunities in the plan risk responses process?

A

Sharing involves transferring ownership of an opportunity to a third party so that it shares some of the benefit if the opportunity occurs

57
Q

What is the enhanced strategy for opportunities in the plan risk responses process?

A

The enhanced strategy is used to increase the probability and/or impact of an opportunity

58
Q

What is the accept strategy for opportunities in the plan risk responses process?

A

Accepting an opportunity acknowledges it’s existence but no proactive action is taken.

59
Q

What is the avoid strategy for overall project risk in the plan risk responses process?

A

Avoid: when the level of overall project risk is significantly negative and outside the agreed upon risk thresholds for the project and avoid strategy may be used. This involves taking focused action to reduce the negative effect of uncertainty on the projects and brings the project back within thresholds.

60
Q

What is the exploit strategy for overall risk in the planet risk responses process?

A

Exploit: when the level of overall project risk is significantly positive and outside, the agreed upon risk thresholds for the project and exploit strategy may be adopted. This involves taking focused action to capture the positive effect of uncertainty on the project

61
Q

What is the transfer/share strategy for overall project risk in the plan risk responses process?

A
