CRISC Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control – Question136

You are the project manager of GFT project. Your project involves the use of electrical motor. It was stated in its specification that if its temperature would increase to 500 degree Fahrenheit the machine will overheat and have to be shut down for 48 hours. If the machine overheats even once it will delay the project's arrival date. So to prevent this you have decided while creating response that if the temperature of the machine reach 450, the machine will be paused for at least an hour so as to normalize its temperature. This temperature of 450 degrees is referred to as?

A.
Risk identification
B. Risk trigger
C. Risk event
D. Risk response

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation: A risk trigger is a warning sign or condition that a risk event is about to happen. Here the warning temperature is 450 degrees Fahrenheit, therefore it is referred as risk trigger.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Risk identification is the process of the identifying the risks. This process identifies the risk events that could affect the project adversely or would act as opportunity.
C: Here risk event is 500-degree temperature, as when machine reaches this temperature it should have to be shut-down for 48 hours, which in turn will laid a great impact on the working of project.
D: Risk response here is shutting off of machine when its temperature reaches 450 degree Fahrenheit, so as to prevent the occurring of risk event.
