PK0-005 Risk Response Plan Practice Question
Network Topology
A project manager is reviewing the risk response plan for a critical project deliverable. Based on the exhibit, which issue exists with the current risk response setup?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is that candidates focus on the details of risk response types or ownership, but the real issue is a simple count mismatch between the configured limit and the actual number of risks logged in the exhibit.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The configured limit of 2 risks per category does not match the actual number of risks logged.
The exhibit shows a risk response plan with a configured limit of two active risk responses per category. However, the risk log displays three risks in one category, indicating that the limit is not being enforced correctly. This mismatch between the planned configuration and the actual tracking is the direct issue, making option D correct.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The risk response plan should include contingency reserves for each category.
Why it's wrong here
While contingency reserves may be part of risk planning, the exhibit directly shows a mismatch between configured limit and actual count, not a lack of reserves.
- ✗
The risk owner should be assigned for each risk, not for the response.
Why it's wrong here
Risk ownership is important, but the exhibit does not provide evidence of missing owners; the issue is numeric mismatch.
- ✗
The risk response plan does not specify a trigger for each risk.
Why it's wrong here
Triggers are necessary for risk responses, but the exhibit's displayed mismatch supersedes this detail.
- ✓
The configured limit of 2 risks per category does not match the actual number of risks logged.
Why this is correct
Correct. The configured limit of 2 risks per category is contradicted by the 3 risks found in the log, indicating enforcement failure.
