14. Is Problem & risk same?
A risk is an uncertain future event that could have a negative
effect (threat) or a positive effect (opportunity) on the project
objectives.
But a problem statement describes a 100% certain condition
that exists now and threatens achieving the project objectives.
A problem statement would be: We have insufficient
resources to conduct the beta tests which will delay the
project by one week.
A risk statement could be: We may have insufficient resources
to conduct the beta tests which would delay the project by
one week.

statistical information is not available on all
kinds of past incidents.
24. Potential Risk Treatments
Risk Transfer
Risk Avoidance
Risk Retention
