I was in conversation with a PM this week who had their risk list sharply criticized by a team member and told their risks were not real risks...that if the risk describes things that will be worked out in the project, they should not be listed.
I personally supported their list and spent a good hour coaching them on why risks are defined as "anything that may happen in a project".
Would like to know others opinions or experience in this area.

Thanks David for the article. I will be sure to pass it on to those people who struggle with risks or are just learning about them.
To me, the risk list is absolutely critical and I ensure risks are a discussion at every level of the project...from the project backlog...to estimates to assessing project success and lessons learned.
