CAPM · Question #398
Which additional considerations should the project manager make when managing risks in an agile/adaptive project?
The correct answer is B. Identify, analyze, and manage risk during each iteration of the project. In agile and adaptive environments, risk management is not a one-time upfront activity - it is continuous and iterative. Risks are identified, analyzed, and managed during every iteration (sprint/cycle) because the adaptive nature of agile projects means new risks can emerge and

Explanation
In agile and adaptive environments, risk management is not a one-time upfront activity - it is continuous and iterative. Risks are identified, analyzed, and managed during every iteration (sprint/cycle) because the adaptive nature of agile projects means new risks can emerge and existing risks can change rapidly. Adding more risk categories (A) or new probability/impact matrix values (C) are not agile-specific considerations. Increasing reserves (D) is not a standard agile adaptation either, as agile environments use other mechanisms like backlogs and velocity to manage variability.
