You are the project manager for your company and a new change request has been approved for your project. This change request, however, has introduced several new risks to the project. You have communicated these risk events and the project stakeholders understand the possible effects these risks could have on your project. You elect to create a mitigation response for the identified risk events. Where will you record the mitigation response?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Risk register The risk register is progressively elaborated throughout the risk management processes and serves as the authoritative location for recording risk descriptions, risk owners, probability and impact ratings, and planned responses - including mitigation strategies developed in response to newly introduced risks from approved change requests.

Answer

B. Risk log A 'risk log' is not a formally defined PMBOK document; this distractor resembles the risk register in name but does not represent a standard project management artifact.

Answer

C. Risk management plan The risk management plan establishes the methodology, roles, and thresholds for managing risk across the project but does not store details of individual risk events or their specific response strategies.

Answer

D. Project management plan The project management plan is a high-level governance document; individual risk responses are stored in the risk register, which is a project document referenced by but maintained separately from the project management plan.
