The team on the router and switch upgrade project is involved in planning the project. They are performing Risk Response Planning. They are assigning risk owners. What is the main responsibility of…

Watching for additional risks is a broader team and Project Manager responsibility, not the specific role of an assigned risk owner.

Watching for risk triggers and notifying the Project Manager describes a monitoring role, which is secondary to the primary responsibility of implementing the response plan.

Simply notifying the Project Manager that a risk has happened is insufficient; the risk owner is responsible for taking action, not just reporting.

The risk owner is the individual assigned accountability for ensuring that a specific risk response plan is executed if the risk event occurs. This includes managing all aspects of that response - coordinating resources, executing the planned actions, and reporting outcomes to the Project Manager. Ownership means being prepared and responsible for action, not just observation or communication.
