Risk event vs risk trigger

 Hi,

a specilaized programmer leaves your project team due to a promotion. 

Why would the prmotion be a risk trigger instead of a risk event?

thanks

 

I think:

Promotion is the Risk trigger,

because this trigger results in

programmer leaving the project team (which is the Risk event itself)

 

Does this sound okay?

Regards.

risk trigger is a warning sign telling you "you have to do something because something will happend (risk event) if you don't do anything about..."  

If the question says "Programmer leaves because of a promotion and that was the reason he couldn't completed his work" that would be risk event.
