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

Question 21 of 100 in Determine how to follow and execute planned strategies or frameworks

Sanjay Dlamini identifies a new risk during project execution at Maple Ridge Corp. According to the risk management plan, he should escalate high-probability, high-impact risks to the sponsor. What should Sanjay do FIRST?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Assess the risk's probability and impact, then follow the escalation process if it meets the criteria

Explanation

Following the planned risk management strategy means first assessing the risk to determine if it meets the escalation criteria, then following the defined escalation process. This ensures appropriate response based on the framework already established.

**Why not B:** Immediately escalating without first assessing the risk's probability and impact is premature. The risk management plan specifies escalation for high-probability, high-impact risks, so Sanjay must first determine whether this new risk meets those criteria before escalating.

**Why not C:** Adding the risk to the register without further action is insufficient when the risk management plan requires assessment and potential escalation. Simply documenting the risk passively fails to follow the established framework that calls for active evaluation and appropriate response.

**Why not D:** Implementing a response without consulting the risk management plan ignores the established framework. The plan exists to ensure consistent, appropriate responses based on risk severity. Sanjay should follow the defined process: assess the risk first, then determine the appropriate response based on the assessment results.
