PMP · Question 04 · Task 3: Assess and manage risks

During iteration planning for a hybrid software project, the team identifies a new technical risk: the third-party API they planned to integrate may not support the required data volume for the upcoming release. This could impact the sprint goal and the planned release date. What should the project manager do FIRST?

Answer options:

A.

Add the risk to the risk register and schedule a risk review meeting for next week

B.

Work with the team to identify alternative APIs or technical solutions immediately

C.

Escalate the risk to the sponsor and request additional budget for a more robust API solution

D.

Remove the API integration from the current sprint scope to avoid the risk

How to approach this question

In agile/hybrid environments, look for immediate collaborative problem-solving approaches rather than traditional risk management documentation or premature escalation.

Full Answer

B.Work with the team to identify alternative APIs or technical solutions immediately✓ Correct
B
Agile risk management emphasizes immediate collaborative response over formal documentation processes. Servant leaders work with teams to find solutions before escalating or reducing scope.

Common mistakes

Students often choose formal risk documentation (A) or escalation (C) based on traditional risk management, missing the agile emphasis on immediate collaborative problem-solving.
