CAPM Practice Question

The most appropriate action is to record the risk in the risk register along with potential responses. A risk register is a key tool in project management that allows you to document potential risks, assess their impact and likelihood, and plan appropriate responses. By recording the risk, you ensure that it is acknowledged and can be monitored throughout the project. Choosing not to address the risk at this moment ignores the potential impact and leaves the project unprepared if the risk occurs. Modifying the project scope immediately is premature without assessing the risk's probability and potential consequences. Informing the project sponsor without first analyzing the risk may lead to unnecessary alarm or misguided decisions. Proper risk management protocols involve documenting and analyzing the risk before escalating or taking action.
