Abstract
Risk identification is a crucial part of any project, and one of the steps involved in risk management, wich is the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks (defined in ISO 31000 as the effect of uncertainty on objectives.) This should be followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate events[1] or to maximize the realization of opportunities.
There are several different methods for identifying risks, which will all be discussed briefly in this article. For at more detailed explanation of the specific method please see the wiki page for that specific method.
