NEW QUESTION # 525
You work as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. Management has asked you to work with the key project stakeholder to analyze the risk events you have identified in the project.

What approach can you use to achieve this goal of improving the project's performance through risk analysis with your project stakeholders?
- A. Focus on the high-priority risks through qualitative risk analysis
- B. Involve subject matter experts in the risk analysis activities
- C. Involve the stakeholders for risk identification only in the phases where the project directly affects them
- D. Use qualitative risk analysis to quickly assess the probability and impact of risk events
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
By focusing on the high-priority of risk events through qualitative risk analysis you can improve the project's performance.
Qualitative analysis is the definition of risk factors in terms of high/medium/low or a numeric scale (1 to 10).
Hence it determines the nature of risk on a relative scale.
Some of the qualitative methods of risk analysis are:
Scenario analysis- This is a forward-looking process that can reflect risk for a given point in time.
Risk Control Self -assessment (RCSA) - RCSA is used by enterprises (like banks) for the identification
and evaluation of operational risk exposure. It is a logical first step and assumes that business owners and managers are closest to the issues and have the most expertise as to the source of the risk. RCSA is a constructive process in compelling business owners to contemplate, and then explain, the issues at hand with the added benefit of increasing their accountability.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Subject matter experts can help the qualitative risk assessment, but by focusing on high-priority risks the project's performance can improve by addressing these risk events.
B: Stakeholders should be involved throughout the project as situations within the project demand their input to risk identification and analysis.
C: Qualitative analysis does use a fast approach of analyzing project risks, but it's not the best answer for this

* A description of the risk
* The impact should this event actually occur
* The probability of its occurrence
* Risk Score (the multiplication of Probability and Impact)
* A summary of the planned response should the event occur
* A summary of the mitigation (the actions taken in advance to reduce the probability and/or impact of the event)
* Ranking of risks by Risk Score so as to highlight the highest priority risks to all involved.
Incorrect Answers:
B: This is not a valid choice for this question
C: The project management plan is the parent of the risk management plan, but the best choice is the risk register.
D: The risk management plan is an input to the risk response planning, but it is not the best choice for this question

NEW QUESTION # 531
Qualitative risk assessment uses which of the following terms for evaluating risk level?
Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose two.
- A. Single loss expectancy
- B. Probability
- C. Annual rate of occurrence
- D. Impact
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Section: Volume D
Explanation:
Unlike the quantitative risk assessment, qualitative risk assessment does not assign dollar values. Rather, it determines risk's level based on the probability and impact of a risk. These values are determined by gathering the opinions of experts.
* Probability- establishing the likelihood of occurrence and reoccurrence of specific risks, independently, and combined. The risk occurs when a threat exploits vulnerability. Scaling is done to define the probability that a risk will occur. The scale can be based on word values such as Low, Medium, or High. Percentage can also be assigned to these words, like 10% to low and 90% to high.
* Impact- Impact is used to identify the magnitude of identified risks. The risk leads to some type of loss.
However, instead of quantifying the loss as a dollar value, an impact assessment could use words such as Low, Medium, or High. Impact is expressed as a relative value. For example, low could be 10, medium could be 50, and high could be 100.
Risk level = Probability * Impact
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: These are used for calculating Annual loss expectancy (ALE) in quantitative risk assessment. Formula is given as follows:
ALE= SLE * ARO
