I’m a bit confused about just inputting the SWOT items directly into the risk register. That seems too simplistic; I think option D might not be the best choice.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should be focusing on the report settings, the dataset permissions, or a combination of both. I'll need to review the options carefully and make sure I understand the best way to prevent data export from the visuals.

I'm surprised option B is even an option. Relying on the project sponsor to prioritize the SWOT? That's like asking a toddler to fix your car - it's just not going to end well.

Option D is just lazy. Throwing the SWOT analysis into the risk register without any analysis? That's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube by shaking it really hard.

The SWOT analysis is a great starting point, but the interim manager needs to dig deeper to derive actionable risk responses. I think option B is the way to go - collaborating with the project sponsor to prioritize the SWOT items is key.
