Risk identification is determining which risks may adversely affect the development of the project work breakdown structure and what the impact of each risk might be if it occurs. true false

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

The identification of risks and their subsequent management is one of the most important aspects in order to maintain control of a project. This allows the project manager to anticipate those situations that may compromise (or favor) the objectives, and define action plans for them in advance.

The first step in identifying risks is to define what a risk is. A risk is a known situation, which may or may not occur, and that if it occurs, will affect our ability to meet the objectives of the project (if it is negative it will be a risk, and if it is positive, an opportunity). Here it is important to highlight known, if we cannot define the situation we cannot consider it, and also the fact of being able to occur, which implies that the management of a risk will be affected by its probability of occurrence.

The identification of risks is developed during the planning phase, once we have defined the scope, the people involved in the project, the tasks to be carried out, and the schedule. Having these well-defined aspects is important because the risks must be related to a particular task (or group of tasks), and may arise from aspects related to the team or time.
