Question

In addition to monitoring and controlling the project risks for their status and information the risk monitoring and controlling process accomplishes four key things for a project. Which one of the following is NOT a determination that is made by the risk monitoring and controlling process?

Options

  • ADetermines if the project assumptions are still valid
  • BDetermines if the risk management policies and procedures are being followed
  • CDetermines if the risk contingency reserves should be modified to be in alignment with the current risk
  • DDetermines if the project constraints are still valid

Why each option

The risk monitoring and controlling process checks assumptions, policy compliance, and reserve adequacy - but validating project constraints belongs to scope and change control processes.

ADetermines if the project assumptions are still valid

Checking whether project assumptions are still valid is a direct output of risk monitoring and controlling, as changed assumptions can introduce new or changed risks.

BDetermines if the risk management policies and procedures are being followed

Verifying that risk management policies and procedures are being followed is a key audit function performed during risk monitoring and controlling.

CDetermines if the risk contingency reserves should be modified to be in alignment with the current risk

Assessing whether contingency reserves should be adjusted based on current risk exposure is a standard activity within risk monitoring and controlling.

DDetermines if the project constraints are still validCorrect

Determining whether project constraints remain valid is not a function of the risk monitoring and controlling process. Project constraints are reviewed and managed through integrated change control and scope management processes, not risk monitoring. Risk monitoring focuses specifically on risk-related items such as assumption validity, reserve adequacy, and process compliance.
