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
✓
Plan Risk Management, then Identify Risks, then Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis, then Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis, then Plan Risk Responses
Risk management follows the sequence: planning, identification, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, and response planning.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Plan Risk Management, then Identify Risks, then Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis, then Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis, then Plan Risk Responses
Why this is correct
This is the correct order as per PMBOK: risk management starts with planning the process, then identifying risks, performing qualitative analysis to prioritize, optionally performing quantitative analysis if needed, and finally planning responses.
- ✗
Identify Risks, then Plan Risk Management, then Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis, then Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis, then Plan Risk Responses
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot identify risks before planning how the risk management process will be conducted. The plan defines roles, budgets, and schedules for the subsequent steps.
- ✗
Plan Risk Management, then Identify Risks, then Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis, then Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis, then Plan Risk Responses
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because qualitative analysis should precede quantitative. Qualitative analysis prioritizes risks based on probability and impact, helping decide which risks need further quantitative analysis. Reversing the order is inefficient.
- ✗
Plan Risk Management, then Identify Risks, then Plan Risk Responses, then Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis, then Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you must analyze risks before planning responses. Planning responses without knowing the priority or numerical impact of risks would lead to ineffective or misallocated responses.
