A project manager is leading the development of a complex financial trading platform that uses a novel machine learning algorithm. The project team has identified several technical risks, but they are uncertain about potential regulatory compliance risks in the international markets where the platform will be launched. To address this, the project manager engages legal and compliance experts for a dedicated risk workshop. What is the primary value of using expert judgment in this situation?
It replaces the need for quantitative risk analysis by relying exclusively on the experts' qualitative assessments of the risks.
It serves to expand the risk register with as many potential risks as possible to demonstrate due diligence to all project stakeholders.
It leverages specialized insights to identify and analyze complex risks, such as regulatory compliance, that are outside the project team's immediate expertise.
It allows the project manager to transfer accountability for all compliance-related risks to the external experts.
The correct choice highlights the primary value of expert judgment, which is to bring in specialized knowledge and experience that the project team lacks. In this scenario, the team's expertise is technical, not legal or regulatory. The experts provide the necessary insight to identify, understand, and plan for complex compliance risks that the team would otherwise miss. Accountability for risk remains with the project manager. Expert judgment supplements other analysis methods, it does not replace them. While using expert judgment may expand the risk register, its main purpose is to improve the quality and accuracy of risk management, not just the quantity of identified risks.
