Full set: 290 questionsDomain Apply and tailor the PRINCE2 processes in context
The Risk Management Strategy is a management product that defines the project's overall approach to managing risk. It outlines the procedures, tools, techniques, roles, responsibilities, and risk tolerances for the project. It does not, however, serve as the repository for individual identified risks. The capturing and maintaining of information on specific threats and opportunities is the function of the Risk Register, which is a separate, dynamic log used throughout the project's lifecycle.
B: The Risk Management Strategy is the correct document to record the project's risk tolerance, as agreed by the Project Board. C: This is the primary purpose of the Risk Management Strategy; it describes the specific procedures and standards for managing risk on the project. D: A key component of the Risk Management Strategy is to define the roles and responsibilities for risk management activities.
