Explanation

The primary tool and technique in the Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis process is the Probability and Impact Assessment. For each identified risk, the project team evaluates two dimensions: the likelihood (probability) that the risk will occur, and the Impact (consequence/effect) on project objectives such as scope, schedule, cost, or quality if it does occur. These two dimensions are then used together - often in a Probability and Impact Matrix - to prioritize risks. Options A (Risk Owner), B (Risk Category), and D (Cost) are not the paired characteristic in this foundational assessment tool.
