What is the primary objective of project risk assessment?

  1. To identify potential risks that may impact the project.

  2. To develop strategies to mitigate identified risks.

  3. To assign responsibility for managing identified risks.

  4. To monitor and control the implementation of risk management strategies.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary objective of project risk assessment is to identify potential risks that may impact the project, allowing stakeholders to take proactive measures to address them.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk assessment technique?

  1. Risk Brainstorming

  2. Risk Probability and Impact Analysis

  3. Risk Contingency Planning

  4. Risk Sensitivity Analysis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk Contingency Planning is not a risk assessment technique. It is a risk management technique used to develop plans for responding to identified risks.

What is the purpose of risk probability and impact analysis?

  1. To identify potential risks that may impact the project.

  2. To assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks.

  3. To develop strategies to mitigate identified risks.

  4. To monitor and control the implementation of risk management strategies.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Risk probability and impact analysis is used to assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks, allowing stakeholders to prioritize risks and allocate resources accordingly.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management strategy?

  1. Risk Avoidance

  2. Risk Mitigation

  3. Risk Transfer

  4. Risk Acceptance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk Acceptance is not a risk management strategy. It is a decision to accept the risk and not take any action to address it.

What is the purpose of risk monitoring and control?

  1. To identify potential risks that may impact the project.

  2. To assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks.

  3. To develop strategies to mitigate identified risks.

  4. To monitor and control the implementation of risk management strategies.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk monitoring and control involves tracking the implementation of risk management strategies, identifying any changes in risk status, and taking corrective actions as necessary.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management tool?

  1. Risk Register

  2. Risk Breakdown Structure

  3. Risk Heat Map

  4. Risk Contingency Plan


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk Contingency Plan is not a risk management tool. It is a risk management strategy used to develop plans for responding to identified risks.

What is the purpose of a risk register?

  1. To identify potential risks that may impact the project.

  2. To assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks.

  3. To develop strategies to mitigate identified risks.

  4. To document and track identified risks and their management strategies.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A risk register is used to document and track identified risks and their management strategies, providing a central repository for risk information.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management technique?

  1. Risk Brainstorming

  2. Risk Probability and Impact Analysis

  3. Risk Contingency Planning

  4. Risk Sensitivity Analysis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk Contingency Planning is not a risk management technique. It is a risk management strategy used to develop plans for responding to identified risks.

What is the purpose of risk sensitivity analysis?

  1. To identify potential risks that may impact the project.

  2. To assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks.

  3. To develop strategies to mitigate identified risks.

  4. To analyze the impact of changes in project parameters on risk exposure.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk sensitivity analysis is used to analyze the impact of changes in project parameters, such as budget, schedule, or scope, on risk exposure.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management technique?

  1. Risk Brainstorming

  2. Risk Probability and Impact Analysis

  3. Risk Contingency Planning

  4. Risk Sensitivity Analysis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk Contingency Planning is not a risk management technique. It is a risk management strategy used to develop plans for responding to identified risks.

What is the purpose of a risk breakdown structure?

  1. To identify potential risks that may impact the project.

  2. To assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks.

  3. To develop strategies to mitigate identified risks.

  4. To decompose project risks into smaller, more manageable components.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A risk breakdown structure is used to decompose project risks into smaller, more manageable components, facilitating risk assessment and management.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management technique?

  1. Risk Brainstorming

  2. Risk Probability and Impact Analysis

  3. Risk Contingency Planning

  4. Risk Sensitivity Analysis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk Contingency Planning is not a risk management technique. It is a risk management strategy used to develop plans for responding to identified risks.

What is the purpose of a risk heat map?

  1. To identify potential risks that may impact the project.

  2. To assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks.

  3. To develop strategies to mitigate identified risks.

  4. To visualize the distribution of risks across different project dimensions.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A risk heat map is used to visualize the distribution of risks across different project dimensions, such as time, cost, and scope, providing a visual representation of risk exposure.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management technique?

  1. Risk Brainstorming

  2. Risk Probability and Impact Analysis

  3. Risk Contingency Planning

  4. Risk Sensitivity Analysis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk Contingency Planning is not a risk management technique. It is a risk management strategy used to develop plans for responding to identified risks.

What is the purpose of a risk management plan?

  1. To identify potential risks that may impact the project.

  2. To assess the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks.

  3. To develop strategies to mitigate identified risks.

  4. To document the risk management process and assign responsibilities.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A risk management plan documents the risk management process and assigns responsibilities for risk identification, assessment, and management.
