A

Knowledge that can be codified using symbols such as words, numbers, and pictures. This type of knowledge can be documented and shared with others.

22
Q

Non-event Risks

A

Variability type - Uncertainty about some key characteristics of a planned event or activity or decision. Certain weather looks like it probably could be in this category - in terms of unseasonal conditions (of course, this is in the pmbok). Hurricane or a drought is an event risk though.

24
Q

Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS)

A

A hierarchical representation of potential sources of risk.

25
Q
