Same concept, more angles

3 more ways this is tested on PRINCE2F

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.

Variation 1. Which risk response is appropriate for an opportunity with high probability and high impact?

hard
  • A.Enhance
  • B.Exploit
  • C.Share
  • D.Reject

Why B: For an opportunity with high probability and high impact, the 'exploit' response is appropriate to maximize the benefit.

Variation 2. Which risk response is appropriate for an opportunity that the project wants to make more likely to happen?

medium
  • A.Reject
  • B.Exploit
  • C.Share
  • D.Enhance

Why B: Exploit is the correct risk response for an opportunity the project wants to make more likely to happen. In PRINCE2, the Exploit response is specifically used when the project actively seeks to ensure that an opportunity is realized, often by allocating resources or taking direct actions to increase the probability of the positive event occurring. This contrasts with Enhance, which only increases the probability or impact without guaranteeing the outcome.

Variation 3. Which risk response is appropriate for an opportunity?

medium
  • A.Exploit
  • B.Reduce
  • C.Transfer
  • D.Avoid

Why A: For opportunities, PRINCE2 suggests responses: exploit, enhance, share, or reject. Avoid is a threat response.
