A project team completed a brainstorming activity to determine potential issues with a project. Which of the following activities should the project team do NEXT?

Brainstorming is one input technique within the risk identification process, not a separate preceding step; after generating a raw list of potential issues through brainstorming, the team must complete risk identification by formally documenting, categorizing, and recording those issues in the risk register. Risk identification must be fully completed before the team can proceed to quantification, response planning, or other downstream risk activities.

Risk quantification assigns probability and impact values to identified risks and can only occur after risks have been formally identified and documented in the risk register.

Risk planning defines the overall approach and methodology for managing risks and is typically performed earlier in the project lifecycle, before identification activities begin.

Risk response develops strategies to address analyzed risks and is a later step that requires both completed identification and analysis as inputs.
