When you describe a risk, say if it triggers or worsens other risks. A task that's 20% likely to run late might affect three other risks and your whole schedule. Missing these connections means your solutions won't account for the real damage.
How to talk about risks tip number 11: say if the risks interrelate. Sometimes risks are standalone. There is a chance of an event occurring and it's completely isolated, but more often risks have knock-on impacts, impacts to other work or impacts to other risks. One risk becoming an issue can trigger other risks or increase the likelihood of other events occurring. Now, when talking about risks, if you don't highlight when they interrelate, you run the risk of people not understanding the follow-on consequences. They might react to the singular event without considering the bigger picture. And when that happens, you can come up with a fantastic plan for that one risk that doesn't consider the impacts of everything else around it. Now, how do you do this? How do you do this when communicating? Well, when you talk about your risk, and you define what the risk is, add a statement saying if other risks or other things are impacted by your one particular risk. An example of this could be, there is a 20% chance of this task being delivered late on the IT project. That impacts 3 other risks that impact the overall schedule for the program. Whatever your situation involves and dictates, just be clear whether your risk impacts or relates to other things around it.
