Which of the following must be included in the risk register when the project manager completes the Identify Risks process?

Question

Options

• AList of identified risks, potential risk owners, list of potential risk response
• BList of identified risks, list of causes, list of risk categories
• CShort risk titles, list of potential risk owners, list of impacts on objectives
• DList of activities affected, list of potential risk responses, list of causes

• A
  93% (25)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

According to the PMBOK Guide, the risk register is the primary output of the Identify Risks process. At this stage, it must contain: (1) a list of identified risks with descriptions, (2) a list of potential risk owners (individuals or groups best positioned to respond to each risk), and (3) a list of potential risk responses (preliminary responses that may be refined later in the Plan Risk Responses process). Option B is incorrect because 'list of risk categories' is an input (from the risk breakdown structure), not an output. Option C is incorrect because 'list of impacts on objectives' is not a standard risk register component at this stage. Option D is incorrect because 'list of activities affected' is not a required risk register element.
