Question 106 of 200 Question ID: 612258

A project sponsor tells the project manager that stakeholder expectations and risk thresholds have not been addressed
by a particular document. Project planning cannot begin until the sponsor approves this document.

What might the project manager have neglected?

A Review of organizational process assets

B Consideration of enterprise environmental factors

C Development of a risk management plan

D Creation of the risk register

J Question answered incorrectly

Hint:
The project manager is in the process of developing the project charter.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The question suggests that the project manager has developed a draft of the project charter, which must be reviewed
and approved by the project sponsor before project planning can begin. High-level risks may be captured in the project
charter and may be of particular importance if key stakeholders have low-risk tolerances. Stakeholder expectations and
risk thresholds are part of the enterprise environmental factors, which may serve as an input into the development of the
project charter. Therefore, of the available answer choices, the project manager most likely did not adequately consider
the enterprise environmental factors.

Details for Each Option:

B Consideration of enterprise environmental factors

Correct. Stakeholder expectations and risk thresholds are part of the enterprise environmental factors and serve as
an input into the development of the project charter.

C Development of a risk management plan

Incorrect. The risk management plan is a subsidiary of the project management plan. The question implies that the
project is still in the initiation stage, and the risk management plan has not been developed.

D Creation of the risk register

Incorrect. The question indicates that the project is still in the initiation stage. The risk register is an output of the
Identify Risks process, which occurs later during project planning.
