解説
問 38
Incorrectア
Estimation of the critical path is a technique in schedule management that finds the longest path determining the overall required duration from the dependencies among tasks. It is about schedule analysis and is unrelated to this case of preparing and activating a substitute machine in anticipation of a delay risk.
Incorrectイ
Scope definition is clarifying the range of work to be performed in the project and the range of deliverables. This case is the execution of a response measure when a risk materializes, not an activity that defines the scope of work.
Incorrectウ
Identification of stakeholders is the activity of listing the parties who have an interest in or influence on the project. Its target differs from this case, where a delay was addressed with substitute machines.
- エ
正解 The correct answer is “エ”. In this case, they had planned a response in advance — if the introduction of the development PCs was delayed, older PCs would be used as substitute machines — and when the risk of a delay actually materialized, they carried out that plan, so the development work was able to start on schedule. In other words, this is the act of activating a response measure prepared beforehand for an anticipated risk, which corresponds to the “execution of the risk response plan” in project risk management.
ここがポイント
- Understand the risk management process (identify risks → formulate the response plan → execute the plan when a risk materializes). Preparing a measure in advance and activating it is the “execution of the risk response plan”.
- Also keep in mind that risk response strategies include avoidance, mitigation, transfer, and acceptance, and that preparing a substitute machine in advance falls under “mitigation”, which reduces the impact.
