What is project risk identification?

Back

Risk identification is the systematic search for uncertain events or conditions that could affect project objectives.

02
Front

What does the cause describe in a risk statement?

Back

The cause is a current condition or source of uncertainty that could lead to a risk event.

03
Front

Why is a cause alone not a complete risk statement?

Back

A complete statement connects cause, uncertain event, and effect; a cause alone or effect alone is not a complete risk.

04
Front

What should a clear risk statement identify?

Name the objective at stake, such as schedule, cost, scope, quality, safety, or performance.

05

What two kinds of effects can a risk describe?

When should risk identification be repeated?

Back

Repeat it throughout the project as plans, assumptions, and circumstances change.
