You work as a Project Manager for Company Inc. You are incorporating a risk response owner to
take the job for each agreed-to and funded risk response. On which of the following processes are
you working?

A.
Quantitative Risk Analysis

B.
Identify Risks

C.
Plan risk response

D.
Qualitative Risk Analysis

Explanation:

The plan risk response project management process aims to reduce the threats to the project
objectives and to increase opportunities. It follows the perform qualitative risk analysis process
and perform quantitative risk analysis process. Plan risk response process includes the risk
response owner to take the job for each agreed-to and funded risk response. This process
addresses the risks by their priorities, schedules the project management plan as required, and
inserts resources and activities into the budget. The inputs to the plan risk response process are
as follows:
Risk register
Risk management plan
Answer B is incorrect. Identify Risks is the process of determining which risks may affect the
project. It also documents risks’ characteristics. The Identify Risks process is part of the Project
Risk Management knowledge area. As new risks may evolve or become knownas the project
progresses through its life cycle, Identify Risks is an iterative process. The process should involve

the project team so that they can develop and maintain a sense of ownership and responsibility for
the risks and associated risk response actions. Risk Register is the only output of this process.
Answer A is incorrect. Quantitative analysis is the use of numerical and statistical techniques
rather than the analysis of verbal material for analyzing risks. Some of the quantitative methods of
risk analysis are:
Internal loss method
External data analysis
Business process modeling (BPM) and simulation
Statistical process control (SPC)
Answer D is incorrect. Qualitative analysis is the definition of risk factors in terms of
high/medium/low or a numeric scale (1 to 10).
Hence it determines the nature of risk on a relative scale.
Some of the qualitative methods of risk analysis are:
Scenario analysis- This is a forward-looking process that can reflect risk for a given point in time.
Risk Control Self -assessment (RCSA) – RCSA is used by enterprises (like banks) for the
identification and evaluation of operational risk exposure. It is a logical first step and assumes that
business owners and managers are closest to the issues and have the most expertise as to the
source of the risk. RCSA is a constructive process in compelling business owners tocontemplate,
and then explain, the issues at hand with the added benefit of increasing their accountability.
