Selected Answer: C
C. Submit a change request to transfer the risk to a third party in case it becomes an issue. Here's why: When a risk has a high probability of occurring, the project manager should take proactive and strategic action to manage it. Risk transference is a valid risk response strategy, especially when: The risk is outside the team's expertise or control. A third party (e.g., vendor, contractor, insurer) is better equipped to handle the impact. Submitting a change request ensures that the transfer is formally documented and approved, aligning with project governance. Why not the others? A. Assigning a risk manager is helpful but not a direct response to the risk itself. B. Removing user stories is an avoidance strategy, but it may compromise project value and should only be done after thorough analysis. D. Monitoring the risk is passive and insufficient for high-probability risks—it’s better suited for low-impact or uncertain risks.

왜 D가 아닌가요? 사전에 모니터링 체계를 마련하고 위험 징후를 파악하고 사전 대응을 준비하는 적절한 답안입니다.

The best approach to manage a risk with a high probability of occurring is: A. Assign a qualified team member to be the risk manager for the project. Explanation: For a risk with a high probability of occurrence, the project manager must actively manage it by assigning responsibility to someone who can monitor and mitigate the risk. This person, often called a risk owner, ensures that specific actions are taken to address the risk. They also continuously monitor the risk and adjust strategies as needed to minimize its impact.

C. Submit a change request to transfer the risk to a third party in case it becomes an issue. transferring the risk to a third party, such as an insurance provider or a contractor, can reduce the impact on the project. This approach can be especially relevant for risks that are likely to happen and could severely affect the project. D. Ask the team to monitor the risk and provide an alert if it becomes an issue- Monitoring is important, but with a high-probability risk, it’s better to take proactive steps to manage it rather than just wait for it to occur.
