Assess probability and impact first.
In this scenario, the project manager should evaluate for each threat how likely it is to occur and how strongly it could affect schedule, cost, scope, compliance, or quality. After that, assess urgency/proximity—which risks need action soonest.
Applied here:
- The data privacy regulation has high urgency because it may take effect within two months and could affect compliance and controls.
- The vendor resource shortage has high proximity because it may affect the next sprint.
- The integration failures need probability and impact assessment to determine whether they are isolated defects or a broader go-live risk.
So the first risk information is likelihood and consequence, then timing/urgency to prioritize response.
