CAPM Practice Question: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts
Which TWO of the following are outputs of the Identify Risks process?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the outputs of sequential risk processes: candidates often mistake the risk management plan (from Plan Risk Management) or risk response plan (from Plan Risk Responses) as outputs of Identify Risks, when in fact only the risk register and risk report are produced at this stage.
