Each project is unique, even when similar to previous projects, and therefore, it requires a tailored risk strategy. A specific risk strategy for a project ensures that the risks are managed in alignment with the organization’s risk appetite while considering the unique aspects of the project. The risk strategy will identify the specific risk thresholds for the project, which may differ from other projects due to variations in scope, stakeholders, or external conditions.

PMI emphasizes the importance of aligning the risk management strategy with the organizational risk appetite. This alignment ensures that the project’s approach to risk is consistent with the organization ' s broader risk management framework and that it reflects the unique risk profile of the project​​.
