You are running a major project with four sub-projects. Each of the sub-project managers has developed a risk management plan, identified many risks, analyzed them and planned for risk response. It is now two months later. What should you not do?

Ensure that they handle all risks to save you from project level risk control.
Make sure that the sub project managers monitor their project work for new and changing risks.
Make sure that the sub project managers keep track of the identified risks and those on the watch list.
Make sure that the sub-project managers monitor trigger conditions for contingency plans.

The correct answer is: Ensure that they handle all risks to save you from project level risk control.

When running a major project with multiple sub-projects, it is important for the project manager to trust and empower their sub-project managers to handle risks within their specific areas. Micromanaging or taking over risk control from the sub-project managers can lead to decreased efficiency and collaboration, and can create confusion and frustration among team members. It is important for the project manager to maintain oversight and monitor for new and changing risks, as well as track identified risks and those on the watch list. However, taking over risk control from the sub-project managers should be avoided.
