Risk Category

A classification that groups related sources or triggers of risk.

Key Points

  • Organizes risks by common source to make identification and analysis more systematic.
  • Often used to build a Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) for top-down risk reviews.
  • Should be tailored to the project or organization (e.g., technical, external, organizational, project management).
  • Improves coverage, reduces duplicate entries, and helps assign ownership and reporting.

Example

On a software project, the team defines categories such as Technical (new API stability), Vendor (third-party SLA), Compliance (privacy regulations), and Schedule (resource availability). They brainstorm risks under each category to ensure comprehensive coverage and assign owners to each category for follow-up.

PMP Example Question

  1. Risk Category
  2. Risk Trigger
  3. Risk Threshold
  4. Risk Event

Correct Answer: A — Risk Category

Explanation: These headings classify related sources of risk, helping structure the risk register and analysis.
