I recall that initiating a risk response only when risks occur might not be proactive enough. We should probably assess the urgency first, right?

I’m a bit confused about whether we should only focus on the high-priority risk or if we need to address the triggered low-level risks too.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to decide whether to update the watchlist or take immediate action. I feel like the urgency here suggests we need to act fast.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to quickly assess the urgency and potential impact of the triggered risks, then develop a targeted response plan to address them before they cause major issues for the project.

Performing a risk urgency assessment? That's like having a fire drill before the building's actually on fire. But hey, at least we'll be prepared, right?
