A flood-mitigation project logs 'upstream levee breach' with probability, impact, and an owner in a risk register. What is that register primarily used for?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The risk register is the team's shared notepad for 'what could go sideways (or right), how bad, and who owns watching it.' Levee breach sits there with odds, impact, and a name—not buried in someone's inbox.
Full Explanation
A risk register is the planning and monitoring artifact that records identified risks, qualitative or quantitative analysis attributes, and planned responses or owners. Logging an upstream levee breach with probability, impact, and ownership makes the threat visible and actionable. It is not a defect log or a substitute for stakeholder documentation. CAPM planning tasks expect candidates to recognize that use of the register.
