ISC2 Exam CSSLP Topic 10 Question 44 Discussion

The risk management plan, part of the comprehensive management plan, defines how risks will be identified, analyzed, monitored and

controlled, and even responded to.

A Risk management plan is a document arranged by a project manager to estimate the effectiveness, predict risks, and build response plans

to mitigate them. It also consists of the risk assessment matrix.

Risks are built in with any project, and project managers evaluate risks repeatedly and build plans to address them. The risk management

plan consists of analysis of possible risks with both high and low impacts, and the mitigation strategies to facilitate the project and avoid

being derailed through which the common problems arise. Risk management plans should be timely reviewed by the project team in order to

avoid having the analysis become stale and not reflective of actual potential project risks. Most critically, risk management plans include a risk

strategy for project execution.

Answer C is incorrect. The project management plan is a comprehensive plan that communicates the intent of the project for all project

management knowledge areas.

Answer B is incorrect. The project plan is not an official PMBOK project management plan.

Answer D is incorrect. The resource management plan defines the management of project resources, such as project team members,

facilities, equipment, and contractors.
