- Risk appetite describes the general attitude toward risk — how much uncertainty the organization is willing to embrace in pursuit of value. Risk tolerance is more specific, defining the acceptable variation around objectives (e.g., +/- 10% on budget). Risk appetite is broader and strategic, while risk tolerance is measurable and project-specific. Both are typically established by organizational leadership, not just the PM or customer.
