Lamont is the project manager of a project that has recently finished the final project deliverables. The project customer has signed off on the project deliverable and Lamont has a few administrative closure activities to complete. In the project, there were several large risks that could have wrecked the project but Lamont and his project team found some creative methods to resolve the risks without affecting the project costs or project end date. What should Lamont do with the risk responses he identified during the project’s monitoring and controlling process?
A.
Include the risk responses in the organization’s lessons learned database.
B.
Nothing. The risk responses are included in the project’s risk register already.
C.
Include the responses in the project management plan.
D.
Include the risk response in the project risk management plan.
Explanation:
The risk responses should be included in the organization’s lessons learned database so other project managers can use these responses.
Answer option B is incorrect. The project risk register isn’t as shareable as the organization’s lessons learned database.
Answer option C is incorrect. The responses are not in the project management plan, but in the risk response plan during the project and they’ll be entered into the organization’s lessons learned database.
Answer option D is incorrect. The risk responses are included in the risk response plan, but now, post- project, they should be entered into the organization’s lessons learned database.
