What is a critical factor in managing project risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Effective risk management begins with early identification of potential risks and developing strategies to mitigate or respond to them. This includes scheduling, budget, design, and regulatory risks. Assigning all risk to contractors is unrealistic; avoiding communication worsens issues. ARE 5.0 PjM stresses proactive risk identification, communication, and management as key to project success.

I feel like ignoring minor delays, as in option A, could lead to bigger problems later. I definitely think early identification is key.

I’m a bit confused about option C; assigning all risk to the contractor seems risky itself. Is that even a good strategy?

I remember a practice question that emphasized communication about risks, which makes me lean towards option B as well.

I think option B makes the most sense since identifying risks early is crucial, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the only factor.
