✍️ Sample PMI-RMP Questions & Answers
1. What is the primary purpose of a risk register's 'risk owner' field?
The risk owner is the person responsible for monitoring the risk and implementing the agreed response.
2. A PM realizes that pursuing an opportunity would consume reserves needed elsewhere and offers little net benefit, so the team simply documents it. The chosen strategy is:
When proactive pursuit isn't worthwhile, acceptance—documenting without action—is the appropriate response.
3. Which document records the chosen threat response strategy and the assigned risk owner?
The risk register captures identified risks, their responses, and the assigned risk owners.
4. When running a schedule risk simulation, which network paths are most likely to become critical under uncertainty?
Near-critical paths with high variability can overtake the original critical path, revealing criticality risk.
5. Which tool uses categories such as PESTLE, TECOP, or VUCA to stimulate ideas about sources of individual project risk?
Prompt lists are predetermined lists of risk categories (PESTLE, TECOP, VUCA) that prompt teams to consider relevant risk sources.
6. When implementing responses, which reserve is used to address realized identified risks that had contingency plans?
Contingency reserves are allocated for known risks with planned responses and are drawn upon when those risks occur.
