Explanation

An incident is an unplanned, unexpected event that disrupts normal project operations. When an incident occurs, it forces the project manager to reassess scope, schedule, cost, and resources - all of which may require formal updates to the project plan. By contrast, a departing project manager or sponsor triggers a personnel change but does not inherently alter the plan itself (the plan remains valid and is handed off). Milestone realization is an expected, planned event that confirms progress rather than forcing a change. Only an incident introduces an unplanned disruption that most directly necessitates replanning.
