Which statement defines a risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In PRINCE2, a risk is defined as any uncertain event or set of events that, if it occurs, will have an impact on the achievement of project objectives. This definition emphasizes the uncertainty and potential effect on objectives, rather than the certainty or immediate occurrence of an event.

I feel like D is too specific about escalation. Risks can happen without needing to escalate them immediately, so I think it's not the best choice.

I'm a bit confused between A and C. A talks about a certain event, but I feel like risks are usually uncertain, right?

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think option C sounds right because it mentions uncertainty and effects on objectives.

I think a risk is something uncertain, but I'm not sure if it's just about negative impacts or if it can also be positive.

I'm confident that option A is too narrow, focusing only on negative impacts. Risks can have both positive and negative effects, so I don't think that's the best answer here.

Option C seems to hit the nail on the head - an uncertain event that could affect project objectives. That's the classic definition of a risk, so I'm going with that one.
