Three months into a program, multiple workstreams are showing issues. At this point, the program manager requires that a risk impact assessment be conducted.
What will help calculate the impact?
Correct Answer: A
Risk impact assessment involves calculating the impact of identified risks. Risk analysis is the process of examining, estimating, and evaluating the impact of risks, which helps in calculating the impact (Reference:
PMBOK Guide, 6th Edition, p. 417)
Risk analysis is the process of assessing the likelihood and impact of the identified risks on the program objectives. It helps to calculate the impact of the risks by using qualitative or quantitative methods. Risk analysis can provide useful information for risk prioritization, risk response planning, and risk reporting.
