[All PMI-ACP Questions]

A team identifies the number of threats and lists them in the order in which they were identified. After analyzing a cause-and effect diagram, the ownership of the threats and their treatment is assigned, and a number of risk cards are placed on the Kanban board.
What approach should be used to manage these threats?

  • A. Create a risk register detailing the threats, their causes, and their treatment strategies, and complete ownership to provide together risk control and a stakeholder
  • B. Focus on the threats during the daily stand up and ensure they are visible to the entire team and other interested parties
  • C. Prioritize the risks based on their criticality and timing, and track actions to closure
  • D. Ensure that the prioritization of threats is complete, and that ownership actions are assigned and visible to everyone

Selected Answer: C
A. Risk register: Creating a risk register is a good practice for documentation, but it doesn't address the immediate need for prioritization and action. B. Daily stand up: Focusing on threats during daily stand-ups can raise awareness, but it might not provide enough time for in-depth analysis and prioritization. D. Prioritization and visibility: Ensuring prioritization and visibility is important, but it doesn't explicitly address timing and tracking actions to closure, which are crucial for effective risk management. Therefore, by prioritizing risks based on criticality and timing, and proactively tracking actions to closure, the team can effectively manage threats, minimize their impact on the project, and ensure successful outcomes

Selected Answer: C
Ans: C D. is also quite true, however the question states that analysis, cause-effect and ownership has been done and the risks are added to the Kanban board. So it kind of negates D. from being the best answer.

Answer C. When managing threats, it is important to prioritize them based on their criticality and timing. This allows the team to focus their attention and resources on addressing the most significant risks first. By prioritizing the risks, the team can allocate appropriate efforts to mitigate or respond to them effectively. Additionally, it is essential to track actions related to each risk and ensure that they are followed through to closure. This involves assigning ownership of the actions to responsible individuals and monitoring their progress. By tracking actions, the team can ensure that necessary measures are taken to control or mitigate the identified threats.

Selected Answer: D
Because of the words "criticality and timing" in option C, I am voting for D. Criticality, probability and impact are important factors when prioritizing risk, but timing? Never heard of prioritizing risks based on timing.

I'll go with option C. Option D looks correct, but 'and that ownership actions are assigned and visible to everyone' is already covered in question. As the ownership of the threats and their treatment is assigned and are placed in Kanban board. So there is nothing left to ensure that the ownership is visible. So to me 'C' looks correct.

risk can be prioritized based on probability and impact. not criticality and timing. so the correct answer is D.

The ownership and treatment action is already assigned to the risks. What is missing, is the prioritization of the risk and closure action. I will go with option C.

but there is no any approach in Agile based on criticality & timing?! And the question is not asking about the next step, but about the approach ?!
