CAPM Practice: Determine how to document project controls of predictive, plan-based projects

The Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) is a hierarchical representation of potential risk sources, organized by category (e.g., Technical, External, Organizational, Project Management). It helps ensure comprehensive risk identification by providing a structured framework for exploring all risk areas, similar to how the WBS structures scope decomposition.

**Why not A:** Calculating probability and impact is done during qualitative and quantitative risk analysis, not through the RBS itself. The RBS provides the categorization framework for organizing risks, but the actual probability and impact assessment is a separate analytical step.

**Why not C:** Allocating budget to risk response activities is part of cost planning and risk response planning. The RBS categorizes risk sources but does not determine or allocate financial resources for addressing those risks.

**Why not D:** Assigning risk ownership to team members is done in the risk register, not the RBS. The RBS provides the structural framework for categorizing risks by source, while the risk register records individual risk details including the assigned risk owner.
