PMI-RMP Specialized Risk Analyses Practice Question
You are analyzing a project schedule and realize that a 'Risk Event' is correlated with multiple tasks. How should this be handled in your risk simulation tool?
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
✓
Link the risk to multiple activities via impact mapping.
The risk should be modeled as a single event with a correlation mapping to the multiple tasks it impacts, ensuring the simulation triggers the impact across all affected tasks simultaneously.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Manually adjust the duration of each affected task.
Why it's wrong here
Manual adjustment destroys the probabilistic nature of the simulation.
- ✗
Add the risk only to the critical path.
Why it's wrong here
This ignores the impact on the rest of the network.
- ✗
Create separate risks for each task and hope they correlate.
Why it's wrong here
This does not guarantee they will occur together.
- ✓
Link the risk to multiple activities via impact mapping.
Why this is correct
This ensures the simulation treats them as a single causative event.
