Risk Monitoring and Reporting

Question

Lamont is the project manager of a project that has recently finished the final project deliverables. The project customer has signed off on the project deliverable and Lamont has a few administrative closure activities to complete. In the project, there were several large risks that could have wrecked the project but Lamont and his project team found some creative methods to resolve the risks without affecting the project costs or project end date. What should Lamont do with the risk responses he identified during the project's monitoring and controlling process?

Options

  • AInclude the risk response in the project risk management plan.
  • BInclude the responses in the project management plan.
  • CNothing. The risk responses are included in the project's risk register already.
  • DInclude the risk responses in the organization's lessons learned database.

Why each option

Effective risk responses discovered during a project should be captured in the organization's lessons learned database so future projects can benefit from the knowledge.

AInclude the risk response in the project risk management plan.

The risk management plan defines how risk processes will be executed; it is not the appropriate repository for archiving completed risk response outcomes after project closure.

BInclude the responses in the project management plan.

The project management plan is a living document during execution, but archiving finalized risk responses into it after closure does not make them available as organizational knowledge.

CNothing. The risk responses are included in the project's risk register already.

The risk register already contains the risk responses that were planned, but the question asks what Lamont should do with these responses now - the correct action is to archive them for organizational learning, not merely acknowledge they are already recorded.

DInclude the risk responses in the organization's lessons learned database.Correct

During administrative closure, the project manager is responsible for updating organizational process assets, which includes the lessons learned database. Documenting creative risk responses that succeeded without impacting cost or schedule provides reusable intellectual capital for future projects. This is explicitly called out in PMBOK as an output of the Close Project or Phase process and the Monitor Risks process.
