Residual Risk vs Secondary Risk

--此處輸入引言--


--以下是內文--
No. 110 on page 56 of Crosswind (厚):
The team implemnted a risk response plan when a vendor was unable to fulfill a contract commitment. The response was to choose another vendor. However, in this industry, it's hard to find a good company, and the one selected isn't that much better. The new company is somewhat better at meeting the terms of the contract, but still has some issue from time to time. What best describes these issues?
(A) Secondary risk
(B) Workaround
(C) Residual risk
(D) Risk respose plan
The answer of Crosswind (厚) is (C)
Why not (A) Secondary risk?

The definition of secondary risk means that risks result from the execution of a risk response. Right?  Can someone clarify this?

the Input of Communications Planing Process

The propose(output) the Communications Planing Process is to produce the Communications Management Plan...

So , Clearly , we may need the input as follow:
1. Enterprise environmental factors.
2. Organizational process assets.
3. Project management plan(Constraints adn Assumptions)
4. Project scope statement ??????
m............
But why should we need Project scope statement?

there are no clear relationship between Project scope statement and Communications Management plan


According the explanation on PMBOK P.226, it writes:
'The project scope statement (Section 5.2.3.1) provides a documented basis for
future project decisions and for confirming a common knowledge of project scope
among the stakeholders. Stakeholder analysis is completed as part of the Scope
Definition process.'

基本上,有看沒有懂,have any one a good explanation of that?

Who sign the Charter?

I think that the PM needs to get the approval and signature from his/her CEO before delivering any contract/service agreement to customer/sponsor for the approval and signature.
The key words of the question are "you are leaving your office", but you are still in your own office (not outside of your office) and "who will you go see for the signature" (also for the approval). Comparing Project Management Team, all Project Stakeholders and project sponsor with CEO of your company, I do think that CEO of your company is the best answer although PM would review the charter with project management team/senior management in his/her company. 
Please correct my answer if required.
----
This the question from PM PrepCastTM


You are the project manager for the Silver project. You have been brought on to this project in thYou he very early stages and you have been asked to write the charter for it. Over the past 10 days you have met with a number of stakeholders, received their input and you are now ready to have the charter signed. ave the charter in your hand and you are leaving your office. Who will you go see for the signature?

A.) Project Sponsor
B.) The Chief Executive Officer of your company
C.) All Project Stakeholders
D.) The Project Management Team





The answer is B.)

這一題,以我以前的關念,我會選 A) (找 CEO 有一點太大了吧?)
下面是出題者的說明……
不知道大家認不認同他的想法?
A project charter is normally signed by an authorized approver who is outside of the boundaries of the project. This ensures that authorization and funding is given from without and not from within the project. The Project Sponsor, Stakeholders and the Project Management Team are inside the boundaries of the project. While it may not be normal that the CEO signs a charter, in this question here, the CEO is the only person who is outside of the project boundaries and therefore the right person to sign it.

請問大家怎麼理解" Quality Control Measurements"?

"Quality Control Measurements" is the output of Perform Quality Control process
and
the input of Perform Quality Assurance process........



是指說……
Perform Quality Assurance process 中會有一堆的 QA 的行為(activity)....
and then 這一些 activity 的 Quality 也要有一些驗証的標準……
Quality Control Measurements 就是來驗証 QA activity 的標準……
如此我們可以說「 Quality Control Measurements 其實是 QA activity baseline」?
不知道這樣子解釋對不對?還請高手指點迷經……

Duncan
