Trigger Condition

A specific sign or circumstance that warns a risk event is likely to happen soon.

Key Points

  • Serves as an early warning indicator that a known risk may materialize.
  • Defined and recorded in the risk register during risk planning.
  • Monitored throughout the project to decide when to launch risk responses.
  • Often tied to clear thresholds or metrics (e.g., dates missed, counts exceeded).

Example

In a software project, the team sets a trigger condition: "Open critical defects exceed 30 for three days in a row." When this occurs, the project manager initiates the contingency plan to add test resources and re-sequence tasks to reduce schedule risk.
