Henry is the project sponsor of the JQ Project and Nancy is the project manager. Henry has asked
Nancy to start the risk identification process for the project, but Nancy insists that the project team
be involved in the process. Why should the project team be involved in the risk identification?
A.
So that the project team can develop a sense of ownership for the risks and associated risk
responsibilities.
B.
So that the project manager can identify the risk owners for the risks within the project and the
needed risk responses.
C.
So that the project manager isn’t the only person identifying the risk events within the project.
D.
So that the project team and the project manager can work together to assign risk ownership.
Explanation:
The best answer to include the project team members is that they’ll need to develop a sense of
ownership for the risks and associated risk responsibilities.
Answer C is incorrect. While the project manager shouldn’t be the only person to identify the risk
events, this isn’t the best answer.
Answer D is incorrect. The reason to include the project team is that the project team needs to
develop a sense of ownership for the risks and associated risk responsibilities, not to assign risk
ownership.Answer B is incorrect. The reason to include the project team is that the project team needs to
develop a sense of ownership for the risks and associated risk responsibilities, not to assign risk
ownership and risk responses at this point.
