NEW QUESTION # 287
Measuring the probability and consequences of risks is part of:
- A. Quantitative risk analysis
- B. Risk management planning
- C. Qualitative risk analysis
- D. Risk identification
Answer: A
Explanation:
Notice, the key word in the first question is "Measuring". This would imply D - quantitative risk analysis. It would not be A, because Risk Management Planning deals with your general approach to managing risk, not with specific risks. Risk Identification doesn't involve any estimation of the probability of a risk or the impact. Qualitative Analysis involves a broad determination of the probability and impact of risks, but I would argue that there is no "measurement" done in qualitative analysis.

NEW QUESTION # 302
Constructive team roles include:
- A. Encourager, initiator and gatekeeper.
- B. Summarizer, recognition seeker and information seeker.
- C. Information giver, devil's advocate and clarifier.
- D. Withdrawer, harmonizer and blocker.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Constructive and destructive are team roles that indicate how your attitude effects overall team development. A constructive team role is one that helps team development and a destructive one is that which hampers team development. Accordingly, Constructive team roles are:
1.Initiator - lets do this
2.Information seeker - don't we have better information?
3.Information giver - My experience has been that...
4.Encourager - Mary, that was very helpful
5.Clarifiers - I believe we are saying that....
6.Gate Keeper - We have not heard Mary's opinion on this issue yet. What do you think, Mary?
7.Harmonizer - I believe that we are all saying the same thing
8.Summarizer - I feel that we can now reach an agreement As opposed to the above positive roles, Destructive team roles are:
1.Aggressor criticizes and attempts to deflate other
2.Blocker does not want to listen to what other people say
3.Withdrawer is withdrawn
4.Recognition seeker sole purpose is to attract attention and gain recognition
5.Topic jumper jumps topics
6.Dominator dominates the discussion
7.Devil's advocate always pokes hole in other's logic As you can see, B, C and D have a destructive role each. A is the correct answer with all three roles being constructive [Note: Devils Advocate is normally used for a constructive purpose. A person plays the role of negating many suggestions to evoke team members to participate and come up with ideas. It's commonly used as an idea generation technique. Hence I feel Devil's Advocate is not a destructive role. It is true that it can be positive or negative. I have usually seen it classified as "destructive" just because when used in extreme, you really prevent others from feeling safe enough to voice their own opinion.]
