ICP Risk Management & Mitigation 4

Question 1

In agile, 'failing fast' is considered a risk management strategy because it:

Accepted Answer

Allows teams to discover incorrect assumptions early when the cost to correct is low

Answer

Failing fast surfaces problems early in the project lifecycle when changes are cheaper, reducing the overall cost and impact of risk.

Question 2

Which factor most increases the probability component of risk exposure?

Accepted Answer

Unclear or volatile requirements

Answer

Volatile or unclear requirements increase the likelihood of misunderstanding user needs, raising the probability that risk events will occur.

Question 3

Which of the following is an example of a positive risk (opportunity) in agile?

Accepted Answer

Completing a sprint early, freeing time to add a high-value feature

Answer

Completing work early is an opportunity that can be exploited to deliver additional value, making it a positive risk.

Question 4

The 'risk owner' in an agile team is responsible for:

Accepted Answer

Monitoring an assigned risk and executing the agreed response if triggered

Answer

A risk owner watches for trigger conditions and takes the agreed response action, ensuring accountability for individual risks.

Question 5

Continuous integration (CI) primarily mitigates which type of risk?

Accepted Answer

Integration and technical debt risk

Answer

CI detects integration conflicts and defects early by merging and building code frequently, reducing the technical risk of late integration failures.
