Topic: Project Risk Management
Why do we need risk management? All projects have risks. Will the engineering be ready to meet the construction schedule? Will the cost of equipment and materials be delivered on time and within the budget? Will the required permits be approved on schedule? These risks can impact project goals and unmanaged risk can result in crisis management.
The first step in the risk management process is to acknowledge the reality of risk. Denial is a common tactic that substitutes deliberate ignorance for thoughtful planning. This presentation defines the roles and responsibilities within the project team and the methodologies to address the risks – both threats and opportunities. We will discuss how to estimate the probability of an event happening and the impact that event will have on the project if it does happen. We will address what mitigating actions need to be taken to keep a bad event from happening and how to enhance the probability of a good event happening. We will emphasize the importance of periodic reviews and tracking of risks throughout the life of the project.
