Which of the following is an example of risk monitoring to ensure a system is performing as intended?

Question

Options

• AChecking the progress of risk treatment plans
• BConsidering the consequence and likelihood of risks
• CDocumenting the risks and their areas of impact
• DCommunicating to management about risks

• A
  74% (37)
• B
  6% (3)
• C
  16% (8)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Option A is correct because risk monitoring involves tracking whether risk treatment plans are actually being carried out and whether they're working - it's an ongoing oversight activity that ensures the system behaves as intended after risks have been addressed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (consequence and likelihood) describes risk assessment/analysis - evaluating risks before deciding how to treat them, not watching over them afterward.
• C (documenting risks and impact areas) describes risk identification/recording - an earlier step in the risk management process.
• D (communicating to management) describes risk communication - a separate process focused on reporting, not active surveillance of performance.

Memory tip: Think of monitoring as "watching the work in progress." If a treatment plan is a prescription, monitoring is checking that the patient is taking their medicine and getting better - it tracks action and outcome, not discovery or discussion.
