Project Risk Management
One of the critical components of managing a project is being able to effectively identify and manage the risks that threaten the success of the project. Project managers embark on projects without proactively identifying risks and agreeing contingency plans with all the relevant stakeholders.
Having a detailed risk management plan ensures that the project can be implemented in the knowledge that contingency plans and resources are available to control the risk should it become a reality.
Effective risk management plans are the project manager’s defence against the unforeseen and equip him with the tools to quickly manage a risk should it occur.
