CompTIA PK0-005 Practice Test 8

Question 70

The team follows this response: Record likelihood, impact, owner and response in the risk register. Context: a future supplier delay is possible but has not occurred. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Confirm the risk is monitored with a trigger and assigned response owner
Check the opportunity trigger, owner and benefit measurement in the register
Confirm ratings use consistent scales and identify high-exposure priorities
Check the mitigation reduces measured exposure and has a responsible owner

Explanation

Correct Answer

Confirm the risk is monitored with a trigger and assigned response owner. That evidence tests the response to a future supplier delay is possible but has not occurred instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers

This check would validate positive opportunity, not the result required by the risk versus issue case. Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits.

This check would validate qualitative risk matrix, not the result required by the risk versus issue case. Qualitative risk analysis ranks uncertainty using likelihood and impact judgments.

This check would validate mitigation planning, not the result required by the risk versus issue case. Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk.

Question 71

A pending storm could disrupt a planned installation next month. Which principle MOST directly explains how the project should be managed?

Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk
Risk transfer shifts specified financial consequences but not all accountability
A risk is uncertain future exposure, unlike an issue already happening
Qualitative risk analysis ranks uncertainty using likelihood and impact judgments

Explanation

Correct Answer

A risk is uncertain future exposure, unlike an issue already happening. The situation involves a pending storm could disrupt a planned installation next month, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers

That principle concerns mitigation planning rather than the problem of risk versus issue. Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk.

That principle concerns risk transfer rather than the problem of risk versus issue. Risk transfer shifts specified financial consequences but not all accountability.

That principle concerns qualitative risk matrix rather than the problem of risk versus issue. Qualitative risk analysis ranks uncertainty using likelihood and impact judgments.

Question 72

A pending storm could disrupt a planned installation next month. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Simply adding a contingency is not the same as avoiding a threat
Buying insurance does not remove the need to monitor delivery risk
Every uncertain event is not necessarily a negative threat
A potential disruption must not be reported as an actual incident without evidence

Explanation

Correct Answer

A potential disruption must not be reported as an actual incident without evidence. The underlying reason is that a risk is uncertain future exposure, unlike an issue already happening.

Incorrect Answers

This is a caution about risk avoidance, not the immediate risk in risk versus issue. Avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered.

This is a caution about risk transfer, not the immediate risk in risk versus issue. Risk transfer shifts specified financial consequences but not all accountability.

This is a caution about positive opportunity, not the immediate risk in risk versus issue. Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits.

Question 73

A critical integration depends on one engineer with no substitute. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Apply a documented probability-impact rating to rank responses
Reduce probability or impact with cross-training or redundant capability
Proactively increase the chance or benefit of a positive opportunity
Record likelihood, impact, owner and response in the risk register

Explanation

Correct Answer

Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk. Here, a critical integration depends on one engineer with no substitute; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: check the mitigation reduces measured exposure and has a responsible owner.

Incorrect Answers

This response addresses qualitative risk matrix, but the stated decision concerns mitigation planning. Qualitative risk analysis ranks uncertainty using likelihood and impact judgments.

This response addresses positive opportunity, but the stated decision concerns mitigation planning. Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits.

This response addresses risk versus issue, but the stated decision concerns mitigation planning. A risk is uncertain future exposure, unlike an issue already happening.

Question 74

The team follows this response: Reduce probability or impact with cross-training or redundant capability. Context: a critical integration depends on one engineer with no substitute. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Confirm ratings use consistent scales and identify high-exposure priorities
Verify the prohibited exposure no longer exists in the approved project baseline
Check the mitigation reduces measured exposure and has a responsible owner
Verify coverage limits, exclusions and residual project exposure

Explanation

Correct Answer

Check the mitigation reduces measured exposure and has a responsible owner. That evidence tests the response to a critical integration depends on one engineer with no substitute instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers

This check would validate qualitative risk matrix, not the result required by the mitigation planning case. Qualitative risk analysis ranks uncertainty using likelihood and impact judgments.

This check would validate risk avoidance, not the result required by the mitigation planning case. Avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered.

This check would validate risk transfer, not the result required by the mitigation planning case. Risk transfer shifts specified financial consequences but not all accountability.

Question 75

A single network circuit could break the rollout during a high-risk change window. Which principle MOST directly explains how the project should be managed?

Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk
Avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered
Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits
A risk is uncertain future exposure, unlike an issue already happening

Explanation

Correct Answer

Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk. The situation involves a single network circuit could break the rollout during a high-risk change window, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers

That principle concerns risk avoidance rather than the problem of mitigation planning. Avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered.

That principle concerns positive opportunity rather than the problem of mitigation planning. Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits.

That principle concerns risk versus issue rather than the problem of mitigation planning. A risk is uncertain future exposure, unlike an issue already happening.

Question 76

A single network circuit could break the rollout during a high-risk change window. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Simply adding a contingency is not the same as avoiding a threat
Mitigation does not mean the underlying risk has disappeared completely
A potential disruption must not be reported as an actual incident without evidence
Every uncertain event is not necessarily a negative threat

Explanation

Correct Answer

Mitigation does not mean the underlying risk has disappeared completely. The underlying reason is that risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk.

Incorrect Answers

This is a caution about risk avoidance, not the immediate risk in mitigation planning. Avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered.

This is a caution about risk versus issue, not the immediate risk in mitigation planning. A risk is uncertain future exposure, unlike an issue already happening.

This is a caution about positive opportunity, not the immediate risk in mitigation planning. Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits.

Question 77

A project needs financial protection against third-party shipping loss. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Transfer a defined financial exposure through insurance or appropriate contract terms
Proactively increase the chance or benefit of a positive opportunity
Reduce probability or impact with cross-training or redundant capability
Apply a documented probability-impact rating to rank responses

Explanation

Correct Answer

Risk transfer shifts specified financial consequences but not all accountability. Here, a project needs financial protection against third-party shipping loss; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: verify coverage limits, exclusions and residual project exposure.
