An external consultant has signed a contract and agreed a work package to accredit the trainers. The Purchasing Manager will monitor the contract, which states the requirement to organize the accreditation with the Training Delivery Manager. The Training Delivery Manager has tried to contact the consultant but there has been no response. The project manager believes there is a risk that the consultant is prioritizing other clients’ work.
The Purchasing Manager has been assigned as the risk owner. Is this an appropriate approach to managing this risk, and why?
A . Yes, because the Purchasing Manager is monitoring the contract and therefore best suited to controlling the risk.
B . Yes, because the Purchasing Manager should have identified the risk when the work package was agreed.
C . No, because the team manager should be the risk owner to risks concerning the delivery of a work package.
D . No, because the risk was transferred to the Training Delivery Manager when the work package was authorized.
