CAPM Practice: Determine how to follow and execute planned strategies or frameworks

Following the planned risk management strategy allows the team to proactively identify and respond to risks before they escalate into issues. This is the primary purpose of executing a risk management framework—early detection and mitigation.

**Why not A:** Satisfying stakeholder expectations for documentation is a secondary benefit, not the primary reason for following the risk management strategy. The core purpose is proactive risk identification and response, not documentation for its own sake.

**Why not B:** Ensuring the project manager maintains control over all decisions is not the goal of risk reviews. Risk management is about team-based identification and response to threats and opportunities, not about centralizing decision-making authority.

**Why not C:** Demonstrating compliance with organizational policies may be a benefit but is not the primary reason. The fundamental purpose of regular risk reviews is to catch and address risks early, before they escalate into issues that could derail the project.
