residual-risk-vs-secondary-risk

Today we will discuss residual risks vs secondary risks.

I have explained the residual risk and secondary risk in my post onthe type of risk. But I have seen many professionals have issues with understanding these two.

Let’s look at both risk management concepts in detail

残留风险vs Secondary Risks

Many professionals think residual and secondary risks are unknown risks and that we use a fallback plan and management reserve if they occur.

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.

In both cases, you will use the contingency reserve because it is for identified risks. Management reserves are for unidentified risks.

让我们深入研究。

残留风险

You have identified risks and developed a response 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.”

残余风险的示例

假设您已经确定可能会下雨一到两个小时。因此,您制定了一个应急计划来管理这种风险。

But, what happens if the rain falls for over two hours?

您必须制定后备计划。

This is an example of residual risk.

作为项目经理,您必须确保正确评估剩余风险。如果优先级较低,请将其保留在观察列表中。您将制定风险响应计划,以减轻高优先级风险的影响。

请注意,对于所有风险,如果扳机命中率,您将实施响应计划。该计划可以是偶然性或后备计划。

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。

You will use the contingency reserve if any of these risks occur, not the management reserve.The contingency reserve is for identified risks, and the management reserve is for unidentified risks.

次要风险

A risk is an uncertain event that can affect your project objectives.

您将制定风险响应计划来管理它。通常,这种反应会带来新的风险,即次要风险。

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.

次要风险的示例

假设您已经挖掘了一个沟渠来阻止动物。但是,行人可能落入战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.

Summary

Residual and secondary risks are often ignored, and project managers don’t develop a response plan. They only focus only on primary risks. Don’t do this. Secondary and residual risks are equally important. Ignoring them will jeopardize your project’s success.

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