Question 296

The following risk has been recorded in the risk register:

"Because the 'e-learning course' is based on the 'classroom-based training materials', there is a risk that the materials may not be suitable for an e-learning environment, which could lead to a significant rewrite of the materials, increasing cost and time."

The risk has a high probability and impact. An appropriate 'reduce' response has been approved that aims to develop the 'classroom-based training materials' so that they are more likely to be suitable for e-learning.

What is the NEXT step to ensure effective management of the risk, and why?

    Correct Answer: A

    After planning a risk response, the next step should be to implement it. This involves appointing a risk actionee on the team plan to ensure the risk response is executed effectively. The risk actionee will be responsible for carrying out the specific actions needed to mitigate the risk and for reporting progress. This ensures that the risk response is integrated into the work package and managed proactively throughout the project's duration.

Discussion
ravi_awsOption: A

A. Appoint a risk actionee on the team plan, because the risk response needs to be implemented when delivering the work package. The reason is that according to the PRINCE2 risk management process, after planning a risk response, the next step is to implement it. This requires assigning a risk actionee who is responsible for carrying out the risk response activities and reporting on their progress. The risk actionee should be identified on the team plan, which is a document that describes how the work package will be delivered by the team manager and the team members. The team plan should also include the details of the risk response, such as the actions, resources, costs, and timescales involved.
