Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner topic 12 question 7 discussion

Statement A is correct because it defines the four categories of proximity that can be used to categorize risks in the project. Statement C is also correct because it defines imminent risks as those that may occur within two weeks. Statements B, D, and E are incorrect because they are not relevant or accurate in the given scenario. Statement B - there is no information in the scenario to support this statement. Statement D - the impact of a risk will depend on its specific characteristics. Statement E - this risk could occur during the project and would therefore be categorized as within the project

Under the “Proximity” heading, the two statements that should be recorded are: Statement A: Proximity categories for this project are: Imminent; Within the stage; Within the project; Beyond the project. This statement defines the categories of proximity for this project, which is crucial for understanding when a risk might impact the project. Statement C: Imminent risks are those which may occur within two weeks. This statement provides a specific time frame for when risks categorized as “imminent” are expected to occur, which can help in prioritizing risk response strategies.

Correct Answer : A & C

A - This provides guidance on how proximity for risk events is to be assessed. Typical proximity categories will be imminent, within the stage, within the project, beyond the project. Ref. A.24.2. C - This is an acceptable definition for what is meant by an imminent proximity risk. Ref. A.24.2.
