Interviews
Another technique is to conduct facilitated interviews
with team members and other stakeholders to elicit
a large list of risks.
In general, interviews involve
a knowledgeable risk facilitator going from stakeholder
to stakeholder, conducting interviews, and organizing
the results in a report.
SWOT Analysis
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. It is a structured
method for identifying risks and is best performed under the direction of a
knowledgeable facilitator.

Brainstorming
Brainstorming is usually a group activity, again facilitated
by a person expert in such exercises. Remember the
two phases of brainstorming: first the creative phase
when you get all the ideas out, then the critical
phase when you critique, synthesize, and evaluate
the final items on the list.
