Marie has identified a risk event in her project that needs a mitigation response. Her response
actually creates a new risk event that must now be analyzed and planned for. What term is given
to this newly created risk event?

A.
Residual risk

B.
Secondary risk

C.
Infinitive risk

D.
Populated risk

Explanation:

Secondary risks are the risks that come about as a result of implementing a risk response. This
new risk event must be recorded, analyzed, and planned for management.
Answer A is incorrect. A residual risk event is similar to a secondary risk, but is often small in
probability and impact, so it may just be accepted.
Answer D is incorrect. Populated risk event is not a valid project management term.
Answer C is incorrect. Infinitive risk is not a valid project management term.
