ICP Risk Management & Mitigation 5

Question 1

Which agile scaling framework explicitly uses a 'Program Risk Board' to manage risks across multiple teams?

Accepted Answer

SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)

Answer

SAFe uses a Program Risk Board (often via ROAM: Resolved, Owned, Accepted, Mitigated) at the PI Planning event to manage cross-team risks.

Question 2

The ROAM acronym in SAFe risk management stands for:

Accepted Answer

Resolved, Owned, Accepted, Mitigated

Answer

ROAM categorizes each risk as Resolved (no longer a risk), Owned (someone takes responsibility), Accepted (team acknowledges and proceeds), or Mitigated (action taken to reduce impact).

Question 3

An agile team chooses to build a proof of concept (PoC) before committing to a full implementation. This is an example of:

Accepted Answer

Risk mitigation through early validation

Answer

A PoC reduces technical and feasibility uncertainty before a full investment is made, which is a proactive mitigation strategy.

Question 4

Which of the following best represents a 'residual risk'?

Accepted Answer

The remaining risk exposure after a response has been applied

Answer

Residual risk is the remaining level of risk that persists after mitigation actions have been implemented; teams must decide whether to accept it.

Question 5

When should risk identification ideally begin on an agile project?

Accepted Answer

During the product vision and release planning stages

Answer

Early risk identification during vision and planning allows teams to build risk responses into the roadmap and avoid costly surprises later.
