How does a risk differ from an issue?
A risk is an uncertain event that may happen; an issue is a problem that has already happened.
What are the main steps in project risk management?
Identify uncertain events, assess likelihood and consequences, plan responses, assign responsibility, and monitor changes.
What elements belong in a cause–event–effect risk statement?
State the cause, the uncertain event it may lead to, and the effect on an objective. This makes the risk more actionable.
What is a risk register for?
It records risks and useful details such as the affected objective, probability, impact, priority, response, owner, trigger, and status.
How does a qualitative probability–impact assessment help prioritize risks?
Rate probability and impact with agreed scales, then use a probability–impact matrix to focus attention. Define ratings clearly and apply them consistently.
How is a basic numeric risk score calculated, and what can’t it do?
Multiply probability by impact when both use compatible scales. A score supports prioritization but does not replace judgment or agreed thresholds.
What does it mean to avoid a project threat?
Change the plan to eliminate the threat or its cause.
How do secondary risk and residual risk differ?
A secondary risk is a new uncertainty caused by a response; residual risk is what remains after the response. Record and assess both.
What is a risk owner responsible for?
The risk owner coordinates the response, monitors indicators, and reports status. This role does not authorize unilateral changes to approved baselines.
What does a risk trigger indicate?
A trigger is an observable condition indicating that a risk is becoming more likely or that a contingency should be activated.
What should the team do when a risk occurs?
It becomes an issue. Implement the contingency or corrective action, assess effects on objectives, and use change control if approved plans or baselines need adjustment.
What is risk mitigation?
Take action to reduce the threat’s likelihood or impact.
