The correct answer is C – Identify and monitor issues through a risk burndown chart.
Risk burndown charts track how risk exposure is increasing or decreasing over time. This agile artifact is used to communicate risk trends and drive conversations around risk mitigation. It’s especially useful when risks threaten iteration goals or release timelines.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Risk burndown charts are visual tools that track remaining project risk. They help identify whether risks are increasing or decreasing and enable proactive management.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 3.5 – Risk Management in Agile)
Mike Griffiths explains:
“Tracking risks visually, such as in a risk burndown chart, helps stakeholders understand exposure levels and fosters risk-mitigation behavior across the team.”
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 6 – Risk Management)
Why the other options fall short:
A delays action and does not help real-time monitoring.
B tracks tasks, not risk.
D (issue log) may help but lacks the proactive visual trend tracking provided by a burndown chart.
