Risk Burndown Charts

Correct Answer: Conduct an interdependencies analysis and re-prioritize risk mitigation efforts

An interdependencies analysis can help in identifying the root cause of increasing risks in the chart, allowing the project manager to re-prioritize risk mitigation efforts accordingly and address the underlying issues.

Correct Answer: It might indicate instability in the project, poor risk management, and uncertainty about requirements.

The correct answer suggests that frequent fluctuations in the risk burndown chart indicate instability in the project, poor risk management, and uncertainty about requirements. This assertion makes sense as a stable project is expected to show continual reduction in the risk burndown chart as risks should be identified and mitigated over time. Rising risks suggest new uncertainties or unaddressed problems. The other options are not correct because a good risk management plan would not exhibit frequent fluctuations and such variations are not an industry standard in a stable project. The possibility of a charting error should be considered as least likely, unless there are obvious reasons to question the accuracy of the chart.

Correct Answer: Conduct proactive risk identification and assessment during sprint planning

The volatility of high-risk items on the chart indicates a need for better risk identification and assessment during sprint planning. Proactive risk identification can help the project manager address these risks early on and avoid frequent changes.
