Jenny is the project manager of the NHJ Project for her company. She has identified several positive risk events within the project and she thinks these events can save the project time and money…

PMI defines exactly four strategies for responding to positive risks: Exploit (eliminate uncertainty to ensure the opportunity is realized), Share (transfer ownership to a third party better positioned to capture the benefit), Enhance (increase the probability or positive impact of the opportunity), and Accept (be willing to take advantage if the opportunity arises without actively pursuing it). These four strategies provide a complete toolkit for managing opportunities. All four are tested on the PMP exam and must be distinguished from the strategies used for negative risks.

Three is incorrect; the PMBOK Guide specifically enumerates four strategies for positive risks, not three.

Seven is not a recognized total for positive risk response strategies in any edition of the PMBOK Guide.

Acceptance is only one of four valid strategies for positive risks; active strategies such as Exploit and Enhance are frequently preferred when an opportunity has high value.
