If a project manager is worried about unexpected events that could threaten the project's success. What is the first thing the PM should do?
- Identify project risks, then assess those risks
- As the sponsor for additional funding to cover unexpected risks
My thinking is answer 2, because a risk that you expect (whether the probability of it happening is low or not) is a risk that you have identified and can plan for. If unexpected risks occur then you have a management reserve fund for that. While the contingency fund is kept for planned risks.
What do you think?
