Risk analysis is a technique that identifies and assesses the uncertainties and potential negative impacts that may affect the project or the solution. It is not a technique for identifying the solution approach, which is the method or process for solving the identified problem and delivering the desired outcomes12. The other techniques, such as benchmarking, brainstorming, and decision analysis, are acceptable for identifying the solution approach, as they can help to generate, compare, and evaluate different alternatives and criteria for the solution3.
