During planning of the CityTax modernization project, your cross-functional team has finished qualitative and quantitative risk analysis and documented high-priority threats and opportunities in the risk register. The steering committee now wants to understand why you are insisting on spending time to create a formal Risk Response Plan before finalizing the baseline schedule. As the project manager, you need to articulate the primary objective of this plan to gain their support. Which of the following best summarizes the main goal of developing a Risk Response Plan at this point?
To document important risks and retain them for historical records and analysis
To outline strategies and actions to manage identified risks and ensure the project remains within its risk thresholds
To allocate a risk budget progressively throughout the project as risks are identified
To compile a list of risk responses in a chronological log for implementation after the project has concluded
A Risk Response Plan translates the analysis documented in the risk register into concrete, approved actions. It specifies the strategies, owners, resources, and timing needed to exploit or enhance opportunities and to avoid, transfer, mitigate, or accept threats. By defining these responses up front, the team ensures that risk exposure is kept within agreed tolerance levels and that contingency and fallback actions are ready for rapid execution. Historical records, progressive budgeting, or post-project logs may be useful, but they are not the primary purpose of the plan.
