CompTIA PK0-005 Practice Test 9

Question 80

Equipment transport damage could create uninsured replacement expenses. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Every uncertain event is not necessarily a negative threat
Buying insurance does not remove the need to monitor delivery risk
A potential disruption must not be reported as an actual incident without evidence
Mitigation does not mean the underlying risk has disappeared completely

Explanation

Correct Answer

Buying insurance does not remove the need to monitor delivery risk. The underlying reason is that risk transfer shifts specified financial consequences but not all accountability.

Incorrect Answers

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

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

This is a caution about mitigation planning, not the immediate risk in risk transfer. Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk.

Question 81

A high-risk untested feature is optional and threatens a regulatory deadline. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Apply a documented probability-impact rating to rank responses
Remove the risky scope or choose an alternative that eliminates that exposure
Proactively increase the chance or benefit of a positive opportunity
Reduce probability or impact with cross-training or redundant capability

Explanation

Correct Answer

Avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered. Here, a high-risk untested feature is optional and threatens a regulatory deadline; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: verify the prohibited exposure no longer exists in the approved project baseline.

Incorrect Answers

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

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

This response addresses mitigation planning, but the stated decision concerns risk avoidance. Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk.

Question 82

The team follows this response: Remove the risky scope or choose an alternative that eliminates that exposure. Context: a high-risk untested feature is optional and threatens a regulatory deadline. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Confirm the risk is monitored with a trigger and assigned response owner
Verify the prohibited exposure no longer exists in the approved project baseline
Check the opportunity trigger, owner and benefit measurement in the register
Verify coverage limits, exclusions and residual project exposure

Explanation

Correct Answer

Verify the prohibited exposure no longer exists in the approved project baseline. That evidence tests the response to a high-risk untested feature is optional and threatens a regulatory deadline instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers

This check would validate risk versus issue, not the result required by the risk avoidance case. A risk is uncertain future exposure, unlike an issue already happening.

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

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

Question 83

An optional platform migration would introduce unsupported software before launch. Which principle MOST directly explains how the project should be managed?

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

Explanation

Correct Answer

Avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered. The situation involves an optional platform migration would introduce unsupported software before launch, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers

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

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

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

Question 84

An optional platform migration would introduce unsupported software before launch. 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
Buying insurance does not remove the need to monitor delivery risk
A potential disruption must not be reported as an actual incident without evidence

Explanation

Correct Answer

Simply adding a contingency is not the same as avoiding a threat. The underlying reason is that avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered.

Incorrect Answers

This is a caution about mitigation planning, not the immediate risk in risk avoidance. Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk.

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

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

Question 85

An early vendor discount could materially improve project cost performance. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Remove the risky scope or choose an alternative that eliminates that exposure
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

Explanation

Correct Answer

Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits. Here, an early vendor discount could materially improve project cost performance; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: check the opportunity trigger, owner and benefit measurement in the register.

Incorrect Answers

This response addresses risk avoidance, but the stated decision concerns positive opportunity. Avoidance changes the plan so the specific threat is no longer encountered.

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

This response addresses mitigation planning, but the stated decision concerns positive opportunity. Risk mitigation reduces likelihood or consequences while retaining residual risk.

Question 86

The team follows this response: Proactively increase the chance or benefit of a positive opportunity. Context: an early vendor discount could materially improve project cost performance. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Verify the prohibited exposure no longer exists in the approved project baseline
Check the opportunity trigger, owner and benefit measurement in the register
Check the mitigation reduces measured exposure and has a responsible owner
Verify coverage limits, exclusions and residual project exposure

Explanation

Correct Answer

Check the opportunity trigger, owner and benefit measurement in the register. That evidence tests the response to an early vendor discount could materially improve project cost performance instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers

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

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

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

Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits
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

Explanation

Correct Answer

Positive risk responses can enhance or exploit potential benefits. The situation involves the project may access additional expert staff if a strategic grant is approved, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers
