The Project Management Tool Kit: 100 Tips and Techniques for Getting the Job Done Right

Risk Triggers and Timeline

Read down the risk register sorted using qualitative risk analysis or quantitative risk analysis. Select the significant risks that you will manage (typically, these will have at least moderate probability and impact).

Review the trigger events for these risks, and determine the point or points on the project timeline when the risk is most likely to occur. Risk management involves prevention and planning in advance of the trigger and risk responses after the trigger.
