The first one is a minor risk that students everywhere take. The second example is just one of many secondary risks that can come from redoing a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a project management student studying for the PMP exam. You reduce the risk of not passing by staying up all night to study. But this increases the risk of falling asleep on the bus and missing the exam entirely. This new risk is the secondary risk. On a side note, we do not advise you pull an all-nighter the day before the PMP exam. Good study habits in advance and a good night\u2019s sleep are always best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 2:<\/strong> You buy an old townhouse and decide to replace the carpet with hardwood floors. This decreases the risk of mold and allergies; however, once the wood floors are installed, there is now the secondary risk of someone slipping and hurting themselves on the new floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"understanding-residual-risk\"><a id=\"_Understanding_Residual_Risk\"><\/a><strong>Understanding Residual Risk for the PMP Exam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/pmbok-guide-standards\/foundational\/PMBOK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>PMBOK<\/em>\u00ae <em>Guide<\/em><\/a>, the definition of residual risk is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThose risks that are expected to remain after the planned responses of risks have been taken, as well as those that have been deliberately accepted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, even after doing your best to respond to a risk, there might still be risk left over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill\" style=\"grid-template-columns:25% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/21094858\/risk-data-quality-assessment-1024x683.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/21094858\/risk-data-quality-assessment-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Secondary Risk vs Residual Risk on the PMP Exam\" class=\"wp-image-6887 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/21094858\/risk-data-quality-assessment-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/21094858\/risk-data-quality-assessment-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/21094858\/risk-data-quality-assessment-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/21094858\/risk-data-quality-assessment-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/e360-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/21094858\/risk-data-quality-assessment.jpg 1861w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Examples of Residual Risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Residual risks are related to the initial risk. This means you might only need to add an extra step to your initial response. In the examples below, you have a choice. You can accept the residual risk or find ways to mitigate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> You grab a sweatshirt on your way out in the morning. It\u2019s chilly in the office, and you want to reduce the risk of getting a cold. However, the weather forecast could change. Maybe the temperature will drop, or it could start raining. In both these cases, your sweatshirt won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 2:<\/strong> You\u2019re planning an event and the forecast says that it will rain for the first two hours of the event. You bring umbrellas and tarps, but what happens if it continues to rain after two hours? The residual risk that the rain won\u2019t stop may not need any response since you\u2019re already prepared for rain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Studying for the PMP Exam?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/projectmanagementacademy.net\/free-pmp-questions\" style=\"border-radius:2px;background-color:#366194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMP Practice Questions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"secondary-vs-residual\"><a id=\"_Secondary_Risk_vs.\"><\/a><strong>Secondary Risk vs Residual Risk for the PMP<\/strong> <strong>Exam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondary risk and residual risk might seem similar, but they aren\u2019t.

Anytime you respond to a risk, a secondary risk could pop up, meaning you\u2019ll have to respond to them as they happen. Residual risks, on the other hand, are built into the initial risk. Therefore, you can deal with them by having a backup plan to your backup plan. Are you still feeling shaky about the difference between secondary and residual risk?
