How does estimating a migration plan contribute to identifying potential risks in the migration process?

Question

Options

• ABy generating reports on potential risks.
• BBy allocating additional resources to mitigate risks.
• CBy creating contingency plans for identified risks.
• DBy automatically resolving identified risks.

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  90% (26)

Explanation

Estimating a migration plan forces teams to think through each phase in detail, and that structured thinking naturally surfaces unknowns and failure points - which leads directly to creating contingency plans (C) for those identified risks. A contingency plan is a pre-prepared response if a risk materializes, which is the direct output of the estimation/risk-identification process.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because estimation doesn't generate reports - risk reporting is a communication activity, not an outcome of estimation itself.
• B is wrong because allocating resources is a response to risks already known, not part of identifying them during estimation.
• D is wrong because estimation is a planning activity - it can never automatically resolve risks; resolution requires actual execution and decision-making.

Memory tip: Think of estimation as a rehearsal - when you mentally "walk through" the migration step by step, you spot where things could go wrong and write a backup plan (contingency) for each one. Estimate → Identify → Contingency is the logical chain.
