PMI Exam PfMP Topic 7 Question 55 Discussion

Actual exam question for PMI's PfMP exam

Question #: 55
Topic #: 7

[All PfMP Questions]

Recognizing that different components can have different types of risks, you decide to see how each risk affects the components. For example, assume you have identified a structural risk as overly ambitious plans and determine this risk affects three of the top five risks in your portfolio. You also have identified an environmental risk, in terms of whether the component will promote the organization's vision, which affects two components. Each component then has some other types of risks that affect it. From such an analysis you can see:

AGaps in the portfolio

BCommon causes

COverall portfolio risk impact

DRebalancing needs

I'm just hoping the exam doesn't include any questions about juggling while reciting the periodic table. That's where I really start to struggle.

This is a tricky one, but I think I'm going to go with option A. Identifying the gaps in the portfolio seems like a crucial insight you'd get from this kind of analysis. Gotta cover all your bases, you know?

Haha, I bet the exam writers had a field day coming up with this one. Personally, I'm going with option B - common causes. It just makes sense that if you can identify the risks affecting multiple components, you'd see the underlying common factors driving them.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I was leaning towards option D, as the analysis can help identify rebalancing needs across the portfolio. But I can see how option C could be the right answer too.

This question is really testing our understanding of risk analysis at the portfolio level. I think option C is the correct answer, as the analysis can reveal the overall impact of the portfolio risk.

I think considering both overall portfolio risk impact and gaps in the portfolio would give us a more complete picture of the risks affecting our components.
