Risk identification is a critical process in project management, aiming to pinpoint potential opportunities and threats that could affect a project’s objectives. The methods for identifying risks are diverse and can include HAZOP analysis, which is a structured and systematic technique used to identify potential hazards in processes1. Consulting with experts is another method where subject matter experts share their knowledge to ensure project deliverables meet the needs of stakeholders and comply with standards2. Interviewing people within the organization is also a valuable method as it can provide insights into potential risks from those who are closely involved with the project’s operations3.
