Project Management Part 3

The most appropriate definition of a major problem is:

• a large, formally defined problem that will impede the progress of a project, about which no agreement has been reached and that the team cannot resolve on its own
• a formally defined major problem that will impede the progress of a project and that the project team can easily solve
• a big problem that can be formally defined if needed
• a formally defined major problem that will impede the progress of a project and will have a minor impact

Risk identification is initially carried out during:

• development of the project charter
• the development of the schedule
• schedule management
• managing changes

Qualitative risk analysis

• subjectively assesses each risk event to determine its likelihood and impact
• uses analytics to determine exact impact on cost, schedule and effort
• applies objective criteria to each risk to determine the risk category
• uses mathematical techniques to arrive at a more objective analysis of risk

A positive risk is:

• a risk that would be taken voluntarily by the team in order to obtain a benefit for the project
• a future event that is likely to be successful and will bring little benefit to the project
• an event that may or may not occur in the future, with a high probability of success and low benefit to the project
• none of the above

The risk management process includes:

• risk identification, quantitative risk analysis, risk response, risk monitoring and control
• risk identification, qualitative risk analysis, quantitative risk analysis
• risk identification, risk response, risk monitoring and control
• risk identification, qualitative risk analysis, quantitative risk analysis, risk response planning, risk monitoring and control .
