Question 1

Which of the following is the MOST important reason to maintain key risk indicators (KRIs)?


  1. In order to avoid risk
  2. Complex metrics require fine-tuning
  3. Risk reports need to be timely
  4. Threats and vulnerabilities change over time
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
Threats and vulnerabilities change over time and KRI maintenance ensures that KRIs continue to effectively capture these changes.The risk environment is highly dynamic as the enterprise's internal and external environments are constantly changing. Therefore, the set of KRIs needs to be changed over time, so that they can capture the changes in threat and vulnerability. Answer: B is incorrect. While most key risk indicator (KRI) metrics need to be optimized in respect to their sensitivity, the most important objective of KRI maintenance is to ensure that KRIs continue to effectively capture the changes in threats and vulnerabilities over time. Hence the most important reason is that because of change of threat and vulnerability overtime.maintenance.reporting, but is not the reason for maintenance of KRIs.

  4. Nothing. The risk responses are included in the project's risk register already.
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
The risk responses that do not exist up till then, should be included in the organization's lessons learned database so other project managers can use these responses in their project if relevant.then it may not be shared with project managers working on some other project.plan during the project and they'll be entered into the organization's lessons learned database.project, they should be entered into the organization's lessons learned database.

Question 3

What are the requirements for creating risk scenarios? Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose three.


  1. Determination of cause and effect
  2. Determination of the value of business process at risk
  3. Potential threats and vulnerabilities that could cause loss
  4. Determination of the value of an asset
Correct answer: BCD
Explanation:
Creating a scenario requires determination of the value of an asset or a business process at risk and the potential threats and vulnerabilities that could cause loss. The risk scenario should be assessed for relevance and realism, and then entered into the risk register if found to be relevant.In practice following steps are involved in risk scenario development:First determine manageable set of scenarios, which include:Frequently occurring scenarios in the industry or product area. Scenarios representing threat sources that are increasing in count or severity level. Scenarios involving legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the business. After determining manageable risk scenarios, perform a validation against the business objectives of the entity.Based on this validation, refine the selected scenarios and then detail them to a level in line with the criticality of the entity.Lower down the number of scenarios to a manageable set. Manageable does not signify a fixed number, but should be in line with the overall importance and criticality of the unit. Risk factors kept in a register so that they can be reevaluated in the next iteration and included for detailed analysis if they have become relevant at that time. Risk factors kept in a register so that they can be reevaluated in the next iteration and included for detailed analysis if they have become relevant at that time. Include an unspecified event in the scenarios, that is, address an incident not covered by other scenarios.the root causes or factors that contribute to positive or negative effects or outcomes. It is used during the process of exposing risk factors.

The Communications Management Plan sets the communication structure for the project. This structure provides guidance for communication throughout the project's life and is updated as communication needs change. The Communication Managements Plan identifies and defines the roles of persons concerned with the project. It includes a matrix known as the communication matrix to map the communication requirements of the project.monitoring.
