A risk manager is coaching stakeholders on risk categorization. What is the primary benefit of using a consistent categorization strategy?

It guarantees all risks will be identified

It eliminates the need for quantitative analysis

It ensures risks are classified consistently across the project

It automatically assigns risk responses

A project has a risk with a score of 15 (High) that is not expected to occur for another 6 months. Another risk has a score of 8 (Medium) but could occur within the next 2 weeks. The project sponsor asks which risk should be addressed first. What should the risk manager recommend?

Address the High-score risk first because it has a higher score.

Address both risks simultaneously because they are both important.

Conduct a quantitative analysis to compare the risks more precisely.

Address the Medium-score risk first because it is more urgent.
