Risk management,as a subset of project management, is not a new concept but has been growing momentum as of late. Project managers are expected to know the risks inherent in their projects, and give them the appropriate level of scrutiny. Definition Project risk is defined by the Project Management Institute as an uncertain event or... [Read More]| ProjectEngineer
Risks are the wild cards of any project—those sneaky “what ifs” that can turn a smooth ride into a rollercoaster. Risk planning isn’t about eliminating all risk. That would be impossible. Rather, it’s about knowing potential negative events are coming and having a plan to deal with them. Whether you’re launching a product or renovating... [Read More]| ProjectEngineer
Projects are magnets for surprises—think missed deadlines, budget slips, or that vendor who ghosts you midstream. A Risk Management Plan is the part of the Project Management Plan that plans, identifies, and analyzes project risks. It provides the project management team with a defined plan to identify and manage the risks that can arise and negatively... [Read More]| ProjectEngineer
Few projects go off without a hitch, especially when client/sponsor relationships are not strong. That's why I would argue that risk management is one of the most important components of project management. When unexpected events occur, it is clear that the identification and analysis of risks is a central cog in the wheel preventing small... [Read More]| ProjectEngineer

In a proper project risk analysis, once the risks to the project have been identified (step 1), their probability and impact given a value and an overall priority (step 2), risk responses are drawn up (step 3). For each response plan, trigger conditions should be identified. These are the conditions that warrant the implementation of... [Read More]| ProjectEngineer
