  1. A project manager facilitates a session where experts answer questionnaires anonymously over multiple rounds, with feedback summarized between rounds to build consensus. Which technique is being used?

    Answer: Delphi technique

    The Delphi technique uses anonymous, iterative expert questionnaires with controlled feedback to reach consensus and reduce bias.

  2. Which risk identification tool examines the project from the perspectives of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats?

    Answer: SWOT analysis

    SWOT analysis identifies internal strengths/weaknesses and external opportunities/threats, surfacing both positive and negative risks.

  3. A team reviews the assumptions log to test whether each assumption is valid and complete. This is an example of which technique?

    Answer: Assumption and constraint analysis

    Assumption and constraint analysis explores the validity of assumptions and constraints to identify risks from their inaccuracy or instability.

  4. Which tool uses categories such as PESTLE, TECOP, or VUCA to stimulate ideas about sources of individual project risk?

    Answer: Prompt lists

    Prompt lists are predetermined lists of risk categories (PESTLE, TECOP, VUCA) that prompt teams to consider relevant risk sources.

  5. An Ishikawa diagram is most useful during risk identification for what purpose?

    Answer: Identifying underlying causes that could lead to risk events

    The Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram is a cause-and-effect tool that helps trace potential root causes of risks.

  6. During structured interviews for risk identification, what is the PRIMARY benefit over simple brainstorming?

    Answer: It captures detailed, in-depth perspectives from individual stakeholders

    Interviews allow deep, one-on-one exploration of experienced participants' knowledge that group settings may not surface.

  7. Which technique involves reviewing project documents such as plans, contracts, and lessons learned to identify risks from inconsistencies and gaps?

    Answer: Document analysis

    Document analysis reviews project documentation to find risks indicated by inconsistencies, gaps, or misalignment.
