152.

During a meeting with stakeholders in a housing construction project, risks related to


the availability and timely delivery of the required raw materials were discussed. What risk
identification technique does this scenario reflect?
a. Delphi Technique
b. Expert judgement
c. Brainstorming
d. SWOT Analysis

153. In a software development project, the project manager has noticed that the team
members are not actively participating in risk identification and assessment activities.
During team meetings, there is minimal discussion about potential risks, and team
members seem hesitant to raise concerns. The project manager is worried that this lack of
engagement in risk management could lead to unforeseen issues and delays in the project.
Additionally, the team members appear to be focusing more on meeting deadlines rather
than ensuring the quality of the deliverables. The project manager wants to improve the
risk culture within the team and encourage a proactive approach to risk management.
What should the project manager do to address this situation and foster a positive risk
culture?
a. Organize a risk workshop to educate the team about the importance of risk management and
provide them with tools and techniques for effective risk identification and assessment.
Encourage open communication and create a safe environment for team members to express
their concerns without fear of repercussions. Regularly discuss risks during team meetings
and acknowledge team members who actively contribute to risk management efforts. Lead
by example and demonstrate a proactive approach to risk management in your own work.
b. Focus on meeting project deadlines and delivering the required functionalities, even if it
means compromising on quality. Emphasize the importance of timely delivery to the team
and discourage them from spending too much time on risk management activities. Address
risks reactively as they occur, rather than proactively identifying and mitigating them.
c. Implement a strict policy that mandates team members to identify and report a minimum
number of risks per week. Penalize those who fail to meet the quota and reward those who
identify the most risks. This will motivate the team to actively engage in risk management
and ensure that all potential risks are captured.
d. Assign a dedicated risk manager to the project who will be solely responsible for identifying,
assessing, and mitigating risks. Inform the team that they do not need to concern themselves
with risk management and should focus on their assigned tasks. This approach will
centralize risk management efforts and allow the team to concentrate on their core
responsibilities, leading to improved efficiency and productivity.
