Question

Kelly is the project manager of the NNQ Project for her company. This project will last for one year and has a budget of $350,000.

  • BRisk register and power to assign risk responses
  • CRisk register and the risk management plan

Why each option

The Plan Risk Responses process in PMBOK requires two primary inputs: the risk register and the risk management plan. These documents together define the identified risks and the approved methodology for addressing them.

ARisk register and the risk response plan

The risk response plan is the output of the Plan Risk Responses process, not an input to it.

BRisk register and power to assign risk responses

While authority to assign responses is implied by the PM role, it is not a formal PMBOK-defined input to this process.

CRisk register and the risk management planCorrect

The risk register provides the list of prioritized risks, their causes, and preliminary responses, while the risk management plan defines the risk thresholds, roles, and methodology to be used when developing responses. Together they give the project manager everything needed to assign appropriate response strategies for each identified risk event.

DRisk register and the results of risk analysis

Results of risk analysis are captured in an updated risk register, which is already included in choice C; listing them separately misidentifies the formal named input.
