QUESTION 10 OF 29

How do you determine the difference between a risk and an issue?

If you have experience as a business analyst or a project manager, you know full well that there is a world of difference between a genuine risk and an issue. The Amazon interviewer wants to see that you are not going to overlook probability but that you can also focus your attention on current problems.

"I treat risk as something that could occur in the future, and an issue is a risk that is currently happening. It's imperative to pay attention to both a risk and an issue; however, issues are usually more pressing, from my experience."
