Limitations

critically reflect on the tool/concept/theory. When possible, substantiate your claims with literature

- Impossible to first of all identify all risks in a project, secondly to create treatments for them - Risks are often identified through historical data/events. Certain things has happened previously in a project or similar cases, and have therefore been identified and documented as a risk. However, this can be difficult to predict/find data on in a time limited project where a lot of things are new. - Development of treatment plans can take time and not be usefull in shorter projects. - More ideal for programs and portfolios, where data can be added to already existing data and where the treatment continuously can be developed over time. - Difficult to quantify the responses and they will therefore often be based on a persons opinion.
