Risk Principle

The PgMP Certification Risk Principle explains that a risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, can have a positive or negative effect on one or more program objectives. Risks may impact programs in both helpful and harmful ways. Negative risks, often referred to as threats, can hinder program implementation and benefit realization. Positive risks, or opportunities, can enhance program efficiency and support greater benefit realization.
