Episode 58 — Communicating Response Effectiveness
Response actions must be measured and communicated so stakeholders see progress and remaining exposure. This episode outlines how to evaluate effectiveness through indicators like probability reduction, impact change, trigger frequency, and response timeliness. You will learn to differentiate between completion and effectiveness—a completed mitigation that fails to reduce exposure is still inadequate. The PMI-RMP exam often rewards answers that involve evidence-based communication rather than generic updates.
We share examples such as showing defect rate reduction after process training or proving lead-time stability through supplier data. Best practices include using before-and-after metrics, linking performance to thresholds, and reporting both residual and secondary outcomes transparently. Troubleshooting guidance covers missing baselines, inconsistent metrics across teams, and dashboards that celebrate activity rather than results. Communicating effectiveness transforms risk management from documentation into trust-building—leaders fund what they can see working, a truth valid for both real projects and exam reasoning.
