PMP Practice Question 1301 - Business Environment
During a project meeting, the project manager asks risk owners to present issues that may affect the backlog. During their presentation, the project manager realizes that some risk owners did not implement the already agreed-upon risk responses. What should the project manager do to reduce exposure?
- A.Report the risk owners to the project management office (PMO) with the recommendation to remove them from the team.
- B.Reassign the outstanding risk tasks to other team members who have implemented their risk responses.
- C.Ask the risk owners to implement the risk responses before the next meeting and present the results in the meeting.
- ✓ Correct D.Meet privately with the risk owners and work with them to address any impediments to the risk responses.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When risk owners have not implemented agreed-upon risk responses, the project manager should meet privately with them and work together to address any impediments. Collaborative, private engagement identifies barriers and restores accountability without public confrontation. Reporting to the PMO for removal (A) is extreme. Reassigning tasks to other members (B) does not address the impediments. Asking them to implement before the next meeting (C) restates the expectation without removing obstacles.
