Process Definition

This process is identifying and documenting known risks that could affect the project.  Documenting these risks, it allows project teams to anticipate and avoid potential pitfalls.

Project Assessment

This process is critical and probably the most important in the risk management process.  It requires extensive experience as well as calling upon lessons learned to identify all potential risks.  In my work organization, the same issues usually arise, however there are always new, unforeseen risks that have an impact in some way.
