A project constraint limits the team to a fixed budget. What is the primary risk associated with this constraint?

The project may exceed the budget

The team may not have enough work

A project to implement a new payroll system assumes that the HR team will be available for user acceptance testing (UAT) in March. However, the HR team has a mandatory audit in March that requires their full attention. What is the most likely impact on project objectives?

The project schedule will slip because UAT cannot be completed as planned.

The project budget will decrease because less testing is needed.

The project quality will improve because the team has more time to prepare.

The project scope will be reduced to exclude UAT.

Why is it important to encourage stakeholders to challenge assumptions and constraints during risk identification?

To reduce the number of identified risks

To speed up the risk identification process

To uncover hidden risks that may not be apparent

To assign blame for incorrect assumptions

A project manager is facilitating a risk identification session. The team has documented an assumption that the client will provide feedback within five business days. The project manager wants to encourage the team to challenge this assumption. What is the best approach?

Ask the team to provide examples of when the client provided feedback slower than five days.

Confirm the assumption is correct because the client agreed to it in the contract.

Proceed with the assumption because the team has no reason to doubt it.

Remove the assumption from the analysis because it is a contractual requirement.
