1. What is the primary value of using AI to generate an initial project risk register?

   1. AI can quickly produce a structured starting point that captures common risk patterns for a project type
   2. AI eliminates the need for any human review of project risks
   3. AI can predict exact financial impacts for each risk with high accuracy
   4. AI guarantees that all identified risks will actually occur on the project

2. A project manager receives an AI-generated risk register with ten risks already listed. What is the most critical next step before sharing this with leadership?

   1. Validate the risks with the team members who will do the actual work
   2. Adjust the font and formatting to match company templates
   3. Send it directly to stakeholders for immediate feedback
   4. Mark all risks as 'confirmed' to show progress

3. Which of the following is a specific limitation of AI when creating a project risk register?

   1. AI cannot understand the written language of the project charter
   2. AI does not know the specific historical issues the team has encountered
   3. AI cannot generate text longer than a single sentence
   4. AI cannot format columns properly in a table

4. When instructing an AI to draft a risk register, what specific marker should be applied to each risk?

   1. URGENT
   2. REVIEWED
   3. DRAFT
   4. CONFIRMED

5. Why is scoring probability and impact for project risks a task that requires human judgment rather than AI?

   1. AI is not intelligent enough to do math
   2. AI has never been trained on risk scoring data
   3. Probability and impact scores depend heavily on organizational context, team capabilities, and specific project conditions that AI cannot access
   4. Project managers are required by law to score risks themselves

6. Which component of a risk register is AI most capable of drafting initially?

   1. The owner assignment for each risk
   2. The probability and impact scores
   3. The mitigation strategy column
   4. The risk identification category

7. A project team uses an AI-generated risk register without validating it with team members. What is the most likely negative outcome?

   1. The project will automatically be canceled by senior management
   2. The document will have spelling errors that embarrass the project manager
   3. Leadership may have false confidence because the register appears complete but lacks team-specific insights
   4. The AI will refuse to generate future documents for the team

8. What does the term 'pre-mortem' refer to in the context of project risk management?

   1. A forward-looking conversation where the team imagines what could go wrong
   2. A financial analysis performed after the project budget is exhausted
   3. A retrospective meeting held after project completion
   4. A document listing all project expenses

9. Which of the following is something AI can effectively do when starting a risk register?

   2. Recommend common risk categories based on the type of project
   3. Guarantee that all mitigation strategies will be successful
   4. Determine the exact date each risk will occur

10. A project manager wants to use AI to help create a risk register. What information should they provide to the AI to get the best initial draft?

    2. The company's entire historical archive of old projects
    3. The names and salaries of all team members
    4. Only the project budget spreadsheet

11. Why should mitigation strategies in an AI-generated risk register be reviewed by humans?

    1. AI cannot write complete sentences
    2. Mitigations may not account for your organization's specific resources, procedures, and constraints
    3. The word 'mitigation' is spelled incorrectly in AI output
    4. Human review of mitigations is illegal in some jurisdictions

12. What is the danger of presenting an AI-generated risk register to leadership without team validation?

    1. Senior leaders will refuse to read any document created by AI
    2. The AI will publicly criticize the project manager
    3. Leadership will suspect the project manager of cheating
    4. The register may appear comprehensive but actually miss critical risks known only to the team

13. Which column in a risk register would typically require the most human intervention after AI generates an initial draft?

    1. Risk category
    2. Probability score
    3. Risk description
    4. Mitigation notes

14. What type of project information should inform AI-generated risk categories to improve their relevance?

    1. The company's coffee machine brand
    2. The CEO's personal preferences for risk tolerance
    3. The home addresses of team members
    4. The project type and scope from the charter

    2. AI lacks knowledge of your team's specific dynamics, communication patterns, and interpersonal challenges
    3. Pre-mortems have been proven to be ineffective
    4. Pre-mortems are illegal in many countries
