# risk identification — Project Manager

For a Project Manager, 'Risk Identification' isn’t just listing potential problems; it's proactively *finding* anything that could derail the project – budget overruns, schedule slips, scope creep, resource conflicts, vendor failures, even seemingly minor dependencies. Daily tasks involve reviewing deliverables for hidden assumptions (e.g., ‘team assumes client will respond within 24 hours’), facilitating brainstorming sessions with the team to surface risks they foresee, and constantly scanning the environment for new threats or opportunities that could impact the project. Think of it as a continuous 'what *could* go wrong?' exercise applied to every aspect of the plan.
