剩余风险与次要风险

Today we will discussresidual risks vs secondary risks。

I have explained the residual risk and secondary risk in my post onthe type of risk。但是我已经看到许多专业人员在理解这两个方面都有问题。

Let’s look at both risk management concepts in detail

剩余风险与次要风险

许多专业人士认为，剩余风险和次要风险是未知的风险，如果出现后，我们会使用后备计划和管理储备。

Please understand this: residual and secondary risks are identified risks. You will carry out the contingency plan if any identified risk occurs, then apply the fallback plan if the contingency plan fails.

在这两种情况下，您都将使用应急储备，因为它是用于确定的风险。管理储备是针对身份不明的风险。

让我们深入研究。

残留风险

你已经确定了风险和开发了一个反应plan. However, when this does not completely remove the risk, the remainder is called residual risk.

According to the PMBOK Guide, “residual risks are those risks that are expected to remain after the planned responses of risks have been taken, as well as those that have been deliberately accepted.”

Example of a Residual Risk

Let’s say you have identified that it may rain for one to two hours. Therefore, you have created a contingency plan to manage this risk.

但是，如果雨水落下两个多小时，会发生什么？

You have to develop a fallback plan.

This is an example of residual risk.

As a project manager, you must evaluate residual risks properly. If it is a low priority, keep it on the watch list. You will develop a risk response plan to mitigate the impact of high-priority risk.

Please note that for all risks, if the trigger hits, you will implement the response plan. This plan can be a contingency or a fallback plan.

您将实施主要或次要风险的应急计划以及剩余风险的后备计划。

如果发生这些风险，您将使用应急储备，而不是管理储备。应急储备是针对已确定的风险，管理储备适用于身份不明的风险。

Secondary Risks

A risk is an uncertain event that can affect your项目目标。

You will develop a risk response plan to manage it. Often, this response can create a new risk, a secondary risk.

According to the PMBOK Guide, “Secondary risks are those risks that arise as a direct result of implementing a risk response.”

Simply put, your response plan for risk caused a new risk. The new risk is known as a secondary risk.

Example of Secondary Risks

Let’s say you have excavated a trench to stop animals. However, it’s possible that pedestrians may fall into the trench.

This is an example of secondary risk.

If your response plan creates a secondary risk, you will analyze it and develop arisk response plan, if required.

If the impact is very low, you will just keep it on the watch list.

概括

剩余和次要风险通常被忽略，项目经理不会制定响应计划。他们仅专注于主要风险。不要这样做。次要和残留风险同样重要。忽略它们会危害您的项目的成功。

Here is where the post on residual risk vs secondary risk ends, and I hope I’ve illuminated the differences for you.
