PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager is preparing a report for…
A project manager is preparing a report for stakeholders that lists project risks, their impact, and response strategies. Which document should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
The PK0-005 exam often tests the distinction between the risk register (which holds specific risk details) and the risk management plan (which outlines the process), causing candidates to confuse the 'plan' document with the 'log' of actual risks.

Risk register
The risk register is the correct document because it is the central repository for recording identified risks, their impact, probability, and planned response strategies. The project manager uses the risk register to track and communicate risk details to stakeholders, making it the appropriate source for the report described.
