CAPM · Question #442
A company has implemented an adaptive project management framework for a new project. When planning for an iteration, how should risks be addressed? Choose two.
The correct answer is A. Risks should be considered when selecting the content of each iteration. C. Risks should be identified, analyzed, and managed during each iteration.. In adaptive/agile frameworks, risk management is continuous and integrated into each iteration rather than being a one-time upfront activity. Risks should influence backlog prioritization and iteration content selection (A)-high-risk items may be pulled into an iteration earlier

Explanation
In adaptive/agile frameworks, risk management is continuous and integrated into each iteration rather than being a one-time upfront activity. Risks should influence backlog prioritization and iteration content selection (A)-high-risk items may be pulled into an iteration earlier to allow more time for mitigation or learning. Risks must be identified, analyzed, and managed throughout each iteration (C) as new information emerges continuously. Tailoring risks for each iteration (B) conflates 'tailoring the methodology' with risk management. Documenting risks only prior to each iteration (D) is too prescriptive and misses the continuous nature of agile risk management. Reviewing risks only once per iteration (E) contradicts agile's inspect-and-adapt principle-risks should be visible and discussable at any point, especially in daily standups and retrospectives.
