During a risk identification exercise, a subject matter expert is asked to review a list of potential risks and provide feedback. The expert is unfamiliar with the risk register format and needs guidance. What should the risk manager do to support the SME?

Ask the SME to verbally describe risks without documentation.

Complete the risk register on behalf of the SME.

Suggest the SME attend a training course before providing feedback.

Provide a template and clear instructions on how to document risks.

In a focus group for a marketing campaign, a participant suggests that a new social media trend could significantly boost the campaign's reach. The risk manager needs to classify this risk. How should it be classified?

As a threat, because social media trends are unpredictable.

As an opportunity, because it could have a positive impact on the campaign's success.

As neither, because it is a marketing tactic, not a risk.

As both, because it could also fail to materialize.

Choose the description from the most senior stakeholder and discard the others.

Create a separate risk register for each source.
