A project's design has been completed and approved on time. The construction subcontractor should be mobilizing to start construction but does not have the necessary materials in place, causing a dela

Question

Options

• AExecuted the Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis prior to mobilization
• BAdded generic construction risks to the risk register before construction began
• CReviewed the assumptions/exclusions register in the project charter
• DPerformed risk identification exercises for the full lifecycle of the project

• A
  10% (3)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  83% (25)

Explanation

The project manager's critical error was limiting risk identification to only the design phase instead of conducting risk identification exercises across the entire project lifecycle. Risk identification should be performed iteratively and for all phases-design, procurement, construction, commissioning, etc. A risk register limited to one phase will inevitably miss risks that emerge in subsequent phases. Performing comprehensive lifecycle risk identification at the outset (and updating it throughout) would have surfaced the construction material procurement risk long before mobilization, allowing time for a proactive response.
