IMPLEMENTING RISK MANAGEMENT
Consider the professional projects you have worked on in the past or ones with which you are familiar. In any of those projects, were there problems that could have been avoided or perhaps an opportunity that was missed? Either way, the end results of the project were affected in a negative manner. Had there been more effective risk management, the impact of the negative issue could have been minimized, while the opportunity’s benefit maximized.
Unfortunately, failure to adequately implement risk management into a project is not uncommon. This is not always for a lack of trying, as there are several risk management mistakes that are commonly made on projects. For example, sometimes the risk management process is carried out too late; not allowing sufficient time to resolve or circumvent risks. Should risk management be effectively implemented, however, the end results of the project will be improved.
With these thoughts in mind, reflect on any current, or past, project teams with which you have worked. Did your team attempt to implement risk management? For this Discussion, you will analyze the results of that implementation, or lack thereof.
