Question

A team identifies the number of threats and lists them in the order in which they were identified. After analyzing a cause-and-effect diagram, the ownership of the threats and their treatment is assigned, and a number of risk cards are placed on the Kanban board. What approach should be used to manage these threats?

Options

  • ACreate a risk register detailing the threats, their causes, and their treatment strategies; and
  • BFocus on the threats during the daily stand up and ensure they are visible to the entire team and
  • CPrioritize the risks based on their criticality and timing, and track actions to closure
  • DEnsure that the prioritization of threats is complete, and that ownership actions are assigned and

Explanation

The scenario describes a team that has identified risks, analyzed their causes, assigned ownership, and visualized them on a Kanban board. The critical next step is to ensure threats are actually prioritized by impact and likelihood - not merely listed in order of identification - and that assigned ownership and treatment actions are being tracked to closure. Simply holding threats visible in a daily stand-up (B) is insufficient without structured tracking. Creating a traditional register (A) may add overhead without the prioritization step. Prioritizing by criticality alone (C) is close but omits ensuring ownership and action tracking are complete and followed through.
