[All PMI-RMP Questions]

A risk manager is preparing for the first meeting with their project sponsor on a potential project for a large client. The risk manager reviews their newly developed project risk register to identify any risks that should be analyzed further and begins by prioritizing the probability column based on the following criteria:

1 = Very Low

2 = Low

3 = Medium

4 = High

5 = Very High

What type of risk analysis is the risk manager performing?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The risk manager is performing a qualitative risk analysis by prioritizing risks based on their probability of occurrence. Qualitative risk analysis involves evaluating and prioritizing risks based on their likelihood and impact using a predefined scale. This approach helps in determining which risks require more attention and should be subjected to further analysis or immediate action.

PMI defines qualitative risk analysis as a process that uses a relative scale to assess the probability and impact of risks, which is what is being done in this scenario.

Wait, isn't this more quantitative? The numbers seem pretty specific.

I thought Monte Carlo was more complex than this.

I might be overthinking it, but Monte Carlo analysis seems more complex than just assigning probability scores, right?

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think prioritizing risks like this usually points to qualitative analysis.

I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like it could also be quantitative if they were using numbers to analyze impacts.

I think the risk manager is doing a qualitative risk analysis since they are prioritizing risks based on probability ratings.
