PMI-RMP Certification Training - Gathering Techniques to Identify Risks

The video tutorial covers various methods for risk identification, including brainstorming, the Delphi technique, and root cause analysis. It explains how to conduct brainstorming sessions, detailing the roles of facilitators and methods like freewheeling and round robin. The Delphi technique involves gathering expert input in multiple rounds to refine risk definitions. Root cause analysis, using tools like the Ishikawa diagram and the five whys, helps identify underlying causes of risks.

What is the role of a facilitator in a brainstorming session?

• To provide all the ideas for the session

• To make the final decision on the project outcome

• To ensure the session is completed within budget

• To establish ground rules and guide the session

Which brainstorming method involves participants taking turns to share ideas?

• Silent Brainstorming

• Mind Mapping

• Round Robin

• Freewheeling

Why is it important to include all identified risks in the risk register?

• To make the risk register look comprehensive

• Because all risks are equally important

• To ensure no potential risk is overlooked

• To satisfy the facilitator's requirements

What is the primary goal of the Delphi technique?

• To gather expert opinions in a single round

• To refine risk identification through multiple rounds

• To prioritize risks based on their impact

• To eliminate low-level risks from consideration

In the Delphi technique, what is done after gathering inputs from experts?

• The inputs are used to finalize the project plan

• The inputs are summarized and shared

• The inputs are discarded

• The inputs are ignored if they are repetitive

What is the purpose of using the Ishikawa diagram in root cause analysis?

• To eliminate all potential risks

• To prioritize risks based on their likelihood

• To visualize the causes and effects of a problem

• To identify the financial impact of risks

How does the 'five whys' technique help in root cause analysis?

• By providing a list of all possible risks

• By identifying the surface-level causes of a problem

• By drilling down to the root cause through repeated questioning

• By offering a quick solution to the problem
