Risk identification is the most important process in risk management planning as it determines what risks may affect a project and documents their characteristics. Early risk identification allows plans to be made to mitigate risks and helps ensure projects are completed on time, on budget, and to the expected quality. There are various tools and techniques that can be used for comprehensive risk identification, including documentation reviews, brainstorming, checklists, diagrams, and expert judgment. Proper risk identification will help produce successful project results.
