A project manager is developing a risk register for a manufacturing project. One risk is 'a key machine may break down due to lack of maintenance.' The maintenance team is internal to the organization. Which of the following is the most appropriate risk owner?

The machine operator, because they use the machine daily.

The maintenance manager, because they are responsible for the machine's upkeep.

The project manager, because they are responsible for the overall project.

The procurement manager, because the machine may need replacement parts.

During a risk identification workshop, a stakeholder suggests that 'the new marketing campaign could go viral and increase sales by 20%.' The project manager is updating the risk register. How should this item be classified?

As an opportunity, but only if the probability is high enough.

As an opportunity, because it has a positive impact on project objectives.

As a threat, because it is not guaranteed to happen.

As a threat, because it is uncertain and could also lead to negative publicity.
