You are the project manager of the GHY Project for your company. You have completed the risk response planning with your project team. You now need to update the WBS. Why would the project manager need to update the WBS after the risk response planning process? Choose the best answer.

A.
Because of risk responses that are now activities

B.
Because of work that was omitted during the WBS creation

C.
Because of new work generated by the risk responses

D.
Because of risks associated with work packages

Explanation:

Risk responses can generate new work that needs to be reflected in the WBS. So, the WBS need to be updated to reflect the changes that occurred.

Answer option B is incorrect. Errors and omissions in requirements can cause the WBS to be updated to reflect these missing requirements, but this is not the best choice for the question.

Answer option D is incorrect. Risks are documented in the risk register, not in the WBS.

Answer option A is incorrect. Risk responses that become activities, which is feasible, are added to the risk register’s risks, the risk response plan, and the activities list – not the WBS.
