  • C. Corrective control

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
This is an example of a preventive control as the problem is not yet occurred, only it is detected and are accounted for. By removing the scope items from the project work, the project manager is aiming to remove the added risk events, hence it is a preventive control. Preventive control is a type of internal control that is used to avoid undesirable events, errors and other occurrences, which an organization has determined could have a negative material effect on a process or end product.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Detective controls simply detect and report on the occurrence of problems. They identify specific symptoms to potential problems.
C: Corrective actions are steps to bring the future performance of the project work in line with the project management plan. These controls make effort to reduce the impact of a threat from problems discovered by detective controls. They first identify the cause of the problems, then take corrective measures and modify the systems to minimize the future occurrences of the problem. Hence an incident should take place before corrective controls come in action.
D: Scope creep refers to small undocumented changes to the project scope.

The process of removing extra features that Beth added in order to reduce risks is an example of corrective control. Corrective control refers to taking steps to address issues, risks, or other problems that have already occurred in a project in order to get things back on track. By removing the extra features Beth added that introduced new risks, the project manager is implementing a corrective action to mitigate those risks. Preventive control refers to taking proactive measures to prevent potential issues or risks from occurring. Scope creep refers to uncontrolled changes in a project's scope. Detective control is not a standard project management term. So out of the options, corrective control best describes the process outlined in the scenario. The best answer is C. Corrective control.

I would have thought the right answer is corrective, the question wasn't clear as to when the risks were discovered
