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
✓
Update the Risk Register and manage the risk as part of the current stage
Risks are managed by the Project Manager. The risk should be added to the Risk Register and monitored. The Highlight Report is for reporting current stage progress; the risk can be mentioned but the immediate action is to record it.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Wait until the next stage to address the risk
Why it's wrong here
Proactive risk management is required; waiting is not PRINCE2 best practice.
- ✗
Update the Project Plan to include the risk
Why it's wrong here
Risks are recorded in the Risk Register, not the Project Plan.
- ✓
Update the Risk Register and manage the risk as part of the current stage
Why this is correct
Correct. Risks should be recorded and managed as they are identified, even if impact is in the future.
- ✗
Raise an Exception Report to the Project Board
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Report is for when tolerances are forecast to be breached, not for new risks.
