Question

A project team has completed plan risk response activities and has identified three critical risk response plans to major risk events. The responses have been monitored and implemented, with one of the responses presenting the two secondary risks. What should the risk manager do next?

Options

  • AAssess the risk register to ensure the secondary risks are realistic.
  • BAssess the impact of residual and secondary risks on project objectives.
  • CAssess the change log to establish that changes were implemented.
  • DAssess the stakeholder register to determine the impact of initial risks.

Explanation

Secondary risks are new risks that arise directly as a result of implementing a risk response. When secondary risks are identified, the risk manager's next obligation is to assess their impact - along with any residual risks (risks that remain after the response is applied) - on project objectives such as scope, schedule, cost, and quality. This assessment determines whether additional response plans are needed. Checking the risk register for realism (A) is not the structured next step. Reviewing the change log (C) verifies change implementation but does not address the risk impact. Reviewing the stakeholder register (D) is unrelated to evaluating secondary risks. Assessing impact on project objectives is the correct follow-up action per the Plan Risk Responses process.
