11.2 Identify risks

Identify Risks is the process of determining which risks may affect the project and documenting their

it provides to the project team to anticipate events. The inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of this process
are depicted in Figure 11-5. Figure 11-6 depicts the data flow diagram of the process.
