Tell me what the difference is between risk and issues. What are some risks you might come across in a project?

"As I've progressed in my career, I've become more aware of various risks that can impact projects. This awareness allows me to help the project manager to proactively avoid encountering them. One example of a risk is when one doesn't thoroughly define the purpose and scope of a project, which can clearly cause problems down the road. Another common risk is not fully determining deliverables at the beginning of the project. Risks refer to conditions that might negatively affect the project later on. Issues, on the other hand, are problems that are happening in real-time, like when we lose a valuable team member or receive an equipment delivery late during the project."
