    PMP · Question 21 · Task 3: Assess and manage risks

    A project manager is reviewing the project's risk register and notices that a risk identified three months ago as 'low probability, high impact' has not been reassessed despite significant changes in the external business environment. The risk involves potential regulatory changes that could affect 60% of the project deliverables. What should the project manager do?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Continue monitoring the risk since it was assessed as low probability

    B.

    Reassess the risk probability and impact based on current external business environment conditions

    C.

    Escalate the risk to senior management due to its high impact rating

    D.

    Remove the risk from the register since it hasn't materialized in three months

    How to approach this question

    Risk management is iterative. When external conditions change, risks must be reassessed to ensure response strategies remain appropriate.

    Full Answer

    B.Reassess the risk probability and impact based on current external business environment conditions✓ Correct
    B
    Risk management requires iterative assessment. External business environment changes can significantly alter risk probability and impact, making previous assessments obsolete and requiring fresh analysis.

    Common mistakes

    Treating risk assessments as static, escalating based on outdated information, or removing risks simply because they haven't materialized.
