Question 640
During a project governance review on a predictive initiative, a municipal infrastructure project experiences the materialization of a risk previously listed as a possible buried utility obstruction. Which assignment establishes appropriate accountability for the affected decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Have civil works lead resolve the obstruction and project manager communicate consequences. The selected owner has authority over the specific business decision instead of transferring responsibility to an unrelated function. In this case, a risk that has occurred must be resolved as a current issue and its forecast revised. The stated constraint is: A municipal infrastructure project experiences the materialization of a risk previously listed as a possible buried utility obstruction. The chosen accountability is the most direct response under these conditions.
Incorrect Answers
Have data workstream owner manage trigger monitoring and sponsor authorize material fallback. This response addresses another situation in the same task area: A hybrid research project has identified a vendor data-quality risk but no trigger or response owner. There, a risk entry without monitoring and a responsible actor is not executable. For the current situation—A municipal infrastructure project experiences the materialization of a risk previously listed as a possible buried utility obstruction—this option would leave the specific need unresolved: a risk that has occurred must be resolved as a current issue and its forecast revised.
Have procurement risk owner decide mitigation with sponsor approval of added cost. This response addresses another situation in the same task area: A global sourcing project depends on one semiconductor foundry in a politically unstable region. There, risk responses must address likelihood and consequence of a specific dependency. For the current situation—A municipal infrastructure project experiences the materialization of a risk previously listed as a possible buried utility obstruction—this option would leave the specific need unresolved: a risk that has occurred must be resolved as a current issue and its forecast revised.
Have product risk owner approve risk treatment and team integrate safeguards. This response addresses another situation in the same task area: An adaptive digital platform sees an early rise in account takeover but the risk owner has not reassessed assumptions. There, risk monitoring must change decisions when threat evidence invalidates assumptions. For the current situation—A municipal infrastructure project experiences the materialization of a risk previously listed as a possible buried utility obstruction—this option would leave the specific need unresolved: a risk that has occurred must be resolved as a current issue and its forecast revised.
