Residual Risks vs Secondary Risks

Today we will discuss residual risks vs secondary risks.

我已经解释了我的帖子中的残留风险和次要风险风险类型。But I have seen many professionals have issues with understanding these two.

Let’s look at both risk management concepts in detail

Residual Risks 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.

请理解这一点：确定剩余风险和次要风险。如果发生任何已确定的风险，您将执行应急计划，然后如果应急计划失败，请应用后备计划。

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

Let’s dive deeper.

Residual Risks

You have identified risks and developed a response plan. However, when this does not completely remove the risk, the remainder is called residual risk.

根据PMBOK指南，“剩余风险是在bob手机客户端计划采取风险以及被故意接受的风险响应后仍会保留的那些风险。”

残余风险的示例

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.

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

You have to develop a fallback plan.

这是残余风险的一个例子。

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。

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.

You will implement the contingency plan for a primary or secondary risk, and the fallback plan for residual risk.

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

风险是不确定的事件，会影响您的项目目标。

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。

根据《 PMBOK指南》，“次要风bob手机客户端险是发生风险响应的直接结果的风险。”

简而言之，您对风险的响应计划引起了新的风险。新风险被称为第二风险。

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 a风险响应计划, 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.
