When a new risk is identified, it should go through the risk management process. Choice A cannot be the best choice, as you first need to determine the probability and impact of the risk and then try to diminish impact through the Plan Risk Responses process. Only after these efforts should you add reserves. Choice C addresses only costs, when there could also be a time impact. This choice also ignores the work of the Plan Risk Responses process. Choice D cannot be the best choice because it is better to determine reserves based on a detailed analysis of risk. Therefore, the best choice is B.

A risk analysis (choice A) may help, but not as much as a resource-limited schedule (choice D). A responsibility assignment matrix (choice B) shows who is responsible for what, as does a responsibility chart (choice C). They will not help you manage the project with limited resources. Only D will help meet the defined need.

The focus of co-locating is to help communication. Did you pick choice A because you thought having everyone in one office might save money? Not necessarily. There are many reasons that A is not always true, thus A is not the BEST choice. The same can be said for choices C and D. The schedule could be accelerated by co-location and there could be improved instances of opportunities being found of having everyone in one office, however, these would not always be true and thus they are not BEST. Only B is always true.

The two paths you have in this question are Start, 1, 2, 3, End and Start, 1, 4, End. Path Start, 1, 2, 3, End would take 1 + 4 + 5 days or 10 days to complete. Path Start, 1, 4, End would take 1 + 10 days or 11 days to complete. A trick to calculating this quickly is to carefully draw the network diagram, list all the possible paths and then determine how much time each path would take.
