What process determines which risks might affect the project?
A. Qualitative risk analysis
B. Identify Risks
C. Plan Risk Management
D. Quantitative risk analysis
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Process: 11.2 Identify Risks
Definition: The process of determining which risks may affect the project and documenting their characteristics.
Key Benefit: The key benefit of this process is the documentation of existing risks and the knowledge and ability it provides to the project team to anticipate events.
Inputs
1.Risk management plan
2.Cost management plan
3.Schedule management plan
4.Quality management plan
5.Human resource management plan
6.Scope baseline
7.Activity cost estimates
8.Activity duration estimates
9.Stakeholder register
10.Project documents
11.Procurement documents
12.Enterprise environmental factors
13.Organizational process assets
Tools & Techniques
1.Documentation reviews
2.Information gathering techniques
3.Checklist analysis
4.Assumptions analysis
5.Diagramming techniques
6.SWOT analysis
7.Expert judgment
Outputs
1. Risk register
11.2.3.1Risk Register
The primary output from Identify Risks is the initial entry into the risk register. The risk register is a document in which the results of risk analysis and risk response planning are recorded. It contains the outcomes of the other risk management processes as they are conducted, resulting in an increase in the level and type of information contained in the risk register over time. The preparation of the risk register begins in the Identify Risks process with the following information, and then becomes available to other project management and risk management processes:
List of identified risks. The identified risks are described in as much detail as is reasonable. A structure for describing risks using risk statements may be applied, for example, EVENT may occur causing IMPACT, or If CAUSE exists, EVENT may occur leading to EFFECT. In addition to the list of identified risks, the root causes of those risks may become more evident. These are the fundamental conditions or events that may give rise to one or more identified risks. They should be recorded and used to support future risk identification for this and other projects.
List of potential responses. Potential responses to a risk may sometimes be identified during the Identify Risks process. These responses, if identified in this process, should be used as inputs to the Plan Risk Responses process.
