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?

(A) Contract Closure

The answer is (D). (Why not (A))

According to Crosswind opinion, closing the project happens before contract closure. But I don't find this relationship between these two process. Does it correct? How to explain?
