BCS BAPv5 Exam - Topic 4 Question 49 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's BAPv5 exam

Question #: 49
Topic #: 4

John has been working on a business case for opening up the overseas market to new products He has been asked to document the risks What SHOULD he do to ensure they are appropriately recorded? Select the TWO that apply

ACreate a RAID log

BDocument the source of each risk

CIdentify an owner for each risk

DProvide justification or each countermeasure identified

EImpact assessment of each countermeasure identified
A risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives. To ensure that risks are appropriately recorded, they should be documented in a consistent and structured way, such as using a RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies). A RAID log should include information such as the risk description, impact, probability, source, owner, mitigation actions, status and date. Therefore, options B and C are essential for recording risks, as they help to identify where the risk originates from and who is responsible for managing it. Option A is not relevant to recording risks, as it is the name of the tool used to document them. Option D and E are not relevant to recording risks, as they relate to the countermeasures or actions taken to address them, not the risks themselves.

I feel like A is important too, but it’s more about the tool, not the risks themselves.

Agreed! Without identifying the owner, how can you manage the risk?

Just to clarify, A is just the tool, not a method for recording risks.

Justification and impact assessment? Nah, that's overkill for this question.

I think we discussed how justifying countermeasures isn't really about the risks themselves, so options D and E might not be what we need here.

I'm a bit unsure about whether we need to document the source of each risk. I think it might help, but I'm not completely confident.

I remember we practiced using a RAID log in class, so I think option A is definitely important for documenting risks.

This seems pretty straightforward to me. The key is to make sure we have a structured way to record all the relevant details about the risks, like the source, owner, and potential impact. I'd focus on options B and C, and use a RAID log to pull it all together.

Okay, I think I've got this. The important things are to make sure we have a clear description of each risk, identify where it's coming from, and assign an owner who will be responsible for managing it. The RAID log sounds like a good way to organize all of that information.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the options here. I'm not sure what a RAID log is or how it's different from just documenting the risks. And do we really need to provide justification for the countermeasures?
