This Quick Reference Guide helps business analysts with Face-to-Face (F2F) and Virtual Meeting Risk Planning for Remote Business Analysis.

This guide assumes that the reader is familiar with risk analysis and facilitation techniques. Note that only negative risk is addressed in this guide. Besides threats, positive risk (opportunities) may be considered by the facilitator.

• Risk is an uncertain event that is determined by a probability and impact.

• Risk response for threats is action taken to lower the probability and/or the impact.

• Contingency is action taken when risk becomes a certain event (i.e., an issue).
