Question

In Agile risk management, a risk burndown chart is best used to:

Options

  • AQualitatively analyze the probability of a risk occurring.
  • BTrack progress on risk reduction of technical risks.
  • CDocument the external risks that could impact the project.
  • DIllustrate the project risk profile and new and changing risks.

Explanation

A risk burndown chart in Agile is a visualization tool that plots the overall risk exposure of a project over time, showing the aggregate risk profile as iterations progress. It captures both the reduction of known risks and the emergence of new or changing risks — making option D the most accurate description. It is not primarily used for qualitative probability analysis (A), which is done through risk registers or probability/impact matrices. Tracking technical risk reduction specifically (B) is too narrow. Documenting external risks (C) is a risk register function, not a burndown chart.
