Question
A supervisor reviews a case with a trainee for the PMP Project Management Professional involving risk response in People and Stakeholders. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 137)
Answer choices
- A. The best answer is to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice for the risk response scenario.
- B. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
- C. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
- D. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
Correct Answer
A. The best answer is to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice for the risk response scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because risk response is tested by asking candidates to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
