Question 550
A public transport project asks to spend the management reserve on a known utility relocation that was already included in its risk register. The team proposes this response: Assess the relocation against the documented contingency allocation and protect management reserve for unforeseen work under sponsor control. Which result would MOST credibly support the sponsor’s acceptance?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This measured result tests the stated action in the present scenario: Assess the relocation against the documented contingency allocation and protect management reserve for unforeseen work under sponsor control. The evidence is Reserve records identify the known risk allowance, approved drawdown, and updated remaining exposure. Without that evidence, the unresolved failure is: Using an undifferentiated reserve obscures which authority approved a forecasted risk response.
