Discuss PRMIA 8020 Exam Topic 8 Question 5

Ideally, the facilitator of a risk assessment workshop should:

AGuide the workshop toward a pre-determined conclusion, based upon known industry identified risks.

BRemind the attendees that they can override the results of the workshop once the risks are tallied.

CRemain objective and refrain from expressing his or her own opinions.

DAttend via a video connection to allow proper distance.

Suggested Answer: C

Step 1: Role of a Risk Assessment Facilitator

The facilitator's main role is to guide discussions without bias, ensuring objective risk identification.

PRMIA's Risk Governance Framework highlights neutral facilitation as key to effective risk workshops.

Step 2: Why Option C Is Correct

Objectivity ensures unbiased risk assessment.

Expressing personal opinions can influence risk ratings, leading to distorted outcomes.

Step 3: Why the Other Options Are Incorrect

Option A ('Guide the workshop toward a pre-determined conclusion')

Incorrect because risk workshops should discover risks, not confirm pre-set beliefs.

Option B ('Attendees can override results')

Incorrect as risk results should be evidence-based, not subject to override.

Option D ('Attend via video connection')

Incorrect as facilitators must engage actively, making remote facilitation less effective.

PRMIA Risk Reference Used:

PRMIA Risk Governance Framework -- Stresses objectivity in risk assessment facilitation.

PRMIA Risk Identification Best Practices -- Encourages unbiased workshops.

Final Conclusion:

Facilitators must remain neutral and objective, making Option C the correct answer.

Just to note, C is standard practice in risk assessments.

Wait, D? Is that really a thing? Seems odd for a workshop!

Jerlene 11 months ago

B seems risky, letting attendees override could lead to chaos.

Hui 11 months ago

I disagree, A makes more sense. We need direction!

Mari 11 months ago

C is definitely the best choice. Objectivity is key!

Cherelle 12 months ago

I vaguely recall something about the facilitator's role being more about guiding discussion rather than expressing personal opinions. So, C seems right, but I'm not completely confident.

Adelina 12 months ago

I feel like option B could be important too, but it seems risky to let attendees override the results.

Chu 12 months ago

I remember a practice question where we discussed the importance of not guiding the workshop to a predetermined conclusion. That makes me lean towards option C.

I think the facilitator should remain objective, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best approach in every situation.

Floyd 1 year ago

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Does "ideally" mean the best or most recommended approach? Or is it asking about a common industry practice? I'll need to think through the nuances of each option carefully.

Shenika 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. The facilitator should remain objective and refrain from expressing their own opinions, in order to allow the attendees to freely share their perspectives. That's the key to a successful risk assessment workshop.

Arlie 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to cover different aspects of the facilitator's role, but I'm not sure which one is the "ideal" approach. I'll need to review my notes on best practices for facilitating these types of workshops.

This seems like a straightforward question about the role of the facilitator in a risk assessment workshop. I'll need to carefully consider the options and think about the key responsibilities of the facilitator.

I don't know, maybe the facilitator should just show up in a clown costume to liven things up a bit. That would really get the creative juices flowing!
