Question
During the risk management planning, key stakeholders recommend adding more factors other than probability and the impact to refine the score of prioritized threats in subsequent iterations of the qualitative risk analysis. The stakeholders ask the risk manager to prepare a list to discuss this further. Which three valid factors should the risk manager prepare on the list for discussion? (Choose 3)

Explanation
The PMI Practice Standard for Project Risk Management and the PMBOK Guide identify several secondary factors that can refine qualitative risk scores beyond the basic probability × impact calculation. Urgency (B) reflects how quickly a response is needed - a risk requiring immediate action scores higher priority. Proximity (D) indicates how soon the risk event might occur within the project timeline - near-term risks demand earlier attention. Detectability (E) measures how easily a risk can be identified before it materializes - low detectability increases effective severity. Compatibility (A) and Usability (C) are not recognized risk scoring factors in standard risk management frameworks; they belong to product or requirements analysis, not risk prioritization.
