[All PMI Risk Management Professional Questions]

You are the project manager for your organization. You have determined that an activity is too dangerous to complete internally so you hire licensed contractor to complete the work. The contractor, however, may not complete the assigned work on time which could cause delays in subsequent work beginning. This is an example of what type of risk event?

Haha, welcome to the world of project management, where the questions are tricky and the answers are never black and white! I think I'm going to go with D) Transference. Even though the contractor's delay is a secondary risk, the initial risk of the dangerous activity was transferred to them. Gotta play it safe on these certification exams, you know?

You know, I was stuck between C) Pure risk and D) Transference. Pure risk events are out of your control, and hiring the contractor is a way to transfer that risk. But I guess you could say the contractor's potential delay is a secondary risk. This question is really making my head spin!

I'm not so sure about that. I was leaning more towards B) Secondary risk. The delayed work from the contractor could cause issues with subsequent tasks, which seems like a secondary risk event to me. But I can see the argument for transference as well.

That's a good point. I think the primary risk is the dangerous activity, and the delay from the contractor is a secondary risk.

But wouldn't the primary risk be the dangerous activity itself? In that case, wouldn't this situation be considered a secondary risk?

I agree with B) Secondary risk. It seems like the delayed work from the contractor is causing a secondary risk to the project.

I see what you're saying, but I still think it's B) Secondary risk. The delay in the contractor's work could definitely impact other tasks.

I think the correct answer is D) Transference. By hiring the contractor, you are transferring the risk of completing the dangerous activity to them.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the correct answer is D) Transference. By hiring the licensed contractor, you're transferring the risk of the dangerous activity to them. If they don't complete the work on time, that's a secondary risk, but the initial risk was transferred from the organization to the contractor.
