A budget change request was initiated by a functional manager in an organization due to a shortage in the functional manager's department budget. The functional manager asks the CEO to approve utilization of a contingency budget reserved for one of the projects in its closing phase.
What should the risk manager of the related project have done to prevent this situation from happening?
According to the PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) Handbook1, one of the domains of the PMI-RMP exam isRisk Monitoring and Reporting, which involves tracking identified risks, monitoring residual risks, identifying new risks, executing risk response plans, and evaluating risk process effectiveness throughout the project1. The risk manager of the related project should have reformed the risk monitoring and closing process properly to ensure that the contingency budget is only used for the intended risks and not for other purposes.The risk manager should have also communicated the status and outcomes of the risk activities to the relevant stakeholders, such as the functional manager and the CEO, to avoid any confusion or conflict over the budget allocation1.Reference:1: PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) Handbook, page 6.
The risk manager should have ensured a more accurate project work plan and budget to prevent the functional manager from requesting to use the project's contingency budget. A well-planned budget would have avoided the shortage in the functional manager's department budget.
An organization faces immense competition in the market and decides 10 accelerate a key project. What is the first action for the project risk manager to take?
The risk management plan is a document that describes how risk management activities will be structured and performed on a project.It defines the roles and responsibilities, risk categories, risk appetite and thresholds, risk identification and analysis methods, risk response strategies, risk monitoring and reporting mechanisms, and risk governance mechanisms1.The risk management plan should be aligned with the project management plan, which defines the project scope, schedule, cost, quality, and other aspects2. When an organization decides to accelerate a key project, it means that the project objectives, assumptions, constraints, and environment have changed. This will affect the risk exposure and profile of the project, as well as the risk management approach and resources. Therefore, the first action for the project risk manager to take is to revise the risk management plan to reflect the new situation and ensure that the risk management process is still effective and efficient. Revising the risk management plan may involve updating the risk categories, risk appetite and thresholds, risk identification and analysis methods, risk response strategies, risk monitoring and reporting mechanisms, and risk governance mechanisms to suit the accelerated project.The project risk manager should also communicate the revised risk management plan to the relevant stakeholders and obtain their approval and support1. Ensuring sufficient resources are available, updating the risk register, and meeting with the project's stakeholders are all important actions to take when accelerating a project, but they are not the first action. These actions should be done after revising the risk management plan, as they depend on the updated risk management approach and process.For example, the project risk manager may need to allocate more resources to risk management activities, identify and analyze new or changed risks, implement new or modified risk responses, and report the risk status and performance to the stakeholders based on the revised risk management plan1.Reference:2,1.
When a project is accelerated, the risk landscape changes. The project risk manager should first revise the risk management plan to address the new timeline and its potential impacts on the project. This will help in identifying new risks, reassessing existing risks, and updating risk responses.
An organization with a large computer network identified a potential cyber security threat. Although certain measures were implemented to avoid the risk, the cyber security threat occurs. The measures were partially successful and a new unforeseen risk emerges.
What should the risk owner do?
According to the PMBOK Guide, one of the tools and techniques for the implement risk responses process isroot cause analysis. Root cause analysis is a technique that focuses on identifying the fundamental reason for the occurrence of a problem or a risk. By conducting a root cause analysis, the risk owner can determine why the implemented measures were only partially successful and what caused the new unforeseen risk to emerge.This can help the risk owner to identify and implement more effective risk responses, as well as to update the risk register and the risk report with the new information1.Reference: PMBOK Guide, 6th edition, pages 452-453, 474-4751; PMI-RMP Exam Content Outline, 2015, page 8.
A risk manager has been assigned to an upcoming project. A senior risk manager within the organization recently completed a similar project and has provided a lessons learned document to aid planning efforts for the upcoming project. Upon reviewing the document, the risk manager discovers that the completed project was delivered several months behind schedule and several thousands of dollars over budget. The root cause was determined to be an unforeseen risk trigger that caused several items to be reworked, creating cascading schedule delays and depleting management reserves.
What should the risk manager do to mitigate the chance of the same issues reoccurring?
To mitigate the chance of the same issues reoccurring, the risk manager should document the known risk triggers as identified cost and schedule risks in the risk register. By doing so, these risks are formally recognized, and appropriate responses can be planned and monitored. This approach ensures that the lessons learned from the previous project are incorporated into the risk management plan for the upcoming project, reducing the likelihood of similar issues occurring.
A new risk manager has been assigned to a project experiencing delays, quality issues, low performance, and client complaints. The work is being completed with the
client's vendor, which apparently has been causing all of the issues.
What should the risk manager do first?
The risk registry is a document that records the identified risks, their characteristics, their status, and their responses. It is a key input for risk management and a source of information for project stakeholders. The risk manager should review the risk registry first to understand the current state of the project risks, especially the ones related to the client's vendor, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the risk responses implemented so far. Enhancing risk identification, reviewing the contingency reserves, and creating a risk response plan are possible actions that the risk manager may take after reviewing the risk registry, but they are not the first thing to do.
