Question: 1 / 885

What is a secondary risk?

Risk identified during the planning phase

Risk remaining after treatment

New risk introduced as a response to another risk

A secondary risk is a new risk that arises as a direct result of implementing a risk response to an initial or primary risk. When a project manager takes action to address a primary risk, this action may inadvertently introduce new risks. These new risks are known as secondary risks. It is important for project managers to identify and address secondary risks to ensure that the overall project risk is effectively managed.

Option A is incorrect because a risk identified during the planning phase is typically considered an initial or primary risk, not a secondary risk.

Option B is incorrect because a risk remaining after treatment is usually a residual risk, not a secondary risk.

Option D is incorrect because a risk exceeding the risk threshold would be considered a high-risk event or a critical risk, not necessarily a secondary risk.
