Be careful how you say it!
In project work
- Always refer to project risk
Why?
- Because use of the term "risk" (i.e. on its own) typically refers to risk as defined in the insurance industry
- Which commonly refers to something happening to you that you don't like!
Project risk is a special case of risk
- The risk of the project not being successful
- We'll deal with the insurance sort in a later Issacon
