PMP Exam - Question 179


A project manager is leading an innovation project that is facing a lot of risks due to a high level of uncertainty. What strategy should the project manager use to manage these risks using an agile approach?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

In an agile approach, it is crucial to manage risks dynamically due to the inherent uncertainty in innovative projects. Evaluating risks constantly and reprioritizing work as the project progresses aligns well with agile principles, which emphasize flexibility, continuous improvement, and iterative development. This strategy ensures that the team can adapt to new information and changes, addressing risks proactively to minimize their impact on the project's success.

Ok D is answer. Option A (Developing an agile risk matrix) may be helpful, but it is not specific to an agile approach and may not be suitable for managing risks in an innovative project

Agile let's you decide how much risk management you need and when - based on the nature of the project. No general requirement or need for a special matrix here (also this term does not exist I believe).

Risk Matrix in Agile!! I don't think there is a such thing.

I'll take D. It's Agile and there is no risk matrix. But regular evaluation seem closer to what is done in Agile

Abd, yes, there is risk matrix in agile, but while A is what you do at the beginning of a project, D is what you do in this case, even as the project progresses.

both A and D are correct, but D is more correct. D has elements of constant evaluation of risk and reprioritization
