CRISC Exam - Question 117


You are the project manager of GRT project. You discovered that by bringing on more qualified resources or by providing even better quality than originally planned, could result in reducing the amount of time required to complete the project. If your organization seizes this opportunity, it would be an example of what risk response?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The correct answer is 'Exploit'. Exploit is a risk response strategy used when the organization aims to ensure that a positive risk (opportunity) occurs. By bringing on more qualified resources or providing better quality to reduce project completion time, the organization actively ensures that the opportunity is realized. Therefore, the strategy matches the definition of exploiting an opportunity to have a positive impact on the project.

The other options are: Enhance: This strategy involves increasing the probability or impact of an opportunity, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee that the opportunity will be realized. It's more about improving chances rather than ensuring the occurrence
