Overview
Preliminary document analysis establishes the factual context for risk work before detailed identification and analysis. The risk professional gathers relevant evidence about objectives, assumptions, constraints, dependencies, past performance, governance, compliance, and the delivery approach.
Core Concepts
- Begin with project and business objectives because a risk is only meaningful in relation to an objective.
- Useful evidence may include business cases, charters, benefits information, scope/schedule/cost data, contracts, procurement documents, assumptions, issues, changes, quality data, stakeholder information, compliance requirements, prior risk records, and organizational policies.
- Industry benchmarks can expose performance gaps, typical failure modes, expected ranges, and external threats or opportunities.
Exam Tips
- When asked what to review first, choose the artifact most directly connected to the threatened objective or decision.
- Do not assume a prior project's lessons apply unchanged; compare context before reuse.
