The project is using PRINCE2’s recommended risk management procedure. In the ‘identify’ step, a risk was recorded in the risk register: ”If the ‘accredited classroom-based course’ is delayed, there is a threat that work on the ‘e-learning course’ will be delayed, resulting in the ‘accredited e-learning course’ not being ready for the ‘pilot courses’.”
In the ‘implement’ step, a risk response was decided: ”Work will start incrementally on the ‘e-learning course’ whenever a part of the ‘classroom-based training materials’ gains accreditation”.

Is this an appropriate activity when preparing for a quality review, and why?
