Risk Trigger

An event or condition indicating that a risk is about to occur or has occurred.

Definition

Triggers (warning signs) are documented in the risk register so the owner knows when to execute a contingency plan.

Example

Missing two consecutive vendor status reports is the trigger for the delivery risk.

Exam tip

Triggers activate contingency plans.
