Exam PMP topic 1 question 834 discussion

Would go with B. Mitigation actions were not executed in a timely manner. This means mitigations actions were done but not on timely manner. So the Risks should have been monitored correctly and based on the outcome and impact mitigation should have been done on timely manner. C says - Identified the appropriate response. It never said in the scenario that response was applied inappropriately so cannot be an option

The mitigation was identified and executed but NOT IN A TIMELY MANNER. the PM was asleep.

This is C

B, because the risk response was not executed in a timely manner

In project management, when issues or risks are identified, it is crucial to not only report them but also to take appropriate actions to address or mitigate them. The correct course of action is to identify the appropriate response or mitigation plan and ensure that it is implemented in a timely manner. This proactive approach helps in minimizing the impact of issues on the project schedule and preventing further delays. Additionally, effective communication with stakeholders about the identified actions and their implementation is essential to manage expectations and maintain transparency throughout the project.

Mitigation is risk. What are the four risk mitigation strategies? There are four common risk mitigation strategies: avoidance, reduction, transference, and acceptance.

B: Monitoring & Controlling the issue The question states that "mitigation actions were not executed in a timely manner", I will assume that at some point, the project manager had carried out option: "C: Identified the appropriate response and had it implemented" but not in a timely manner which leaves room to say the PM might have not taking a close look during the Monitoring and Controlling phase of the project leaving option "C: Identified the appropriate response and had it implemented" for the very last minute which might lead to the project stakeholders frustration and the delay of the project.

Debería ser B. El PM no es responsable de implementar la respuesta a las mitigaciones.

C is the answer

The correct Option is D, Mitigation Action Owners are the different stakeholders and not just the PM, PM is the owner to communicate the actions and ensure it carried out properly and timely

The correct answer is C. "Identified the appropriate response and had it implemented." Given the situation, where mitigation actions were not executed in a timely manner, it suggests that while the risks might have been identified, the proper responses were not promptly implemented. It's essential for the project manager to not just identify risks, but also to define and carry out the appropriate responses to manage those risks effectively. This would have likely prevented the schedule impact and subsequent stakeholder frustration.

C. Identified the appropriate response and had it implemented

I think C as well

I feel C is the right answer in the exam

C - The key word is mitigated. We mitigate, RISK. The question is about risk. The proper risk response would have prevented this situation.

answer is C.
