threat and opportunities in risk management

Defining Threats and Taking Opportunities by Risk Management Strategy

In the literature on PM (project management), the term “risk management strategy” refers to the scope and direction of actions for project practitioners to embrace the likelihood of both positive and negative consequences that can potentially happen. Such a strategy determines what configuration and implementation of available resources are best to use within a challenging business environment in order to ensure successful accomplishment of project goals and adherence to stakeholder expectations…

Project Management Plan and Three Angles of PM Triangle

Project Management Plan is not a one-time and permanent document; it’s developed at planning stage and continuously updated throughout the project as new changes occur. Project Management Plan includes definitions of an owner’s objectives, technical requirements, calendars and schedules, resources, budgets, and management actions. PM Plan also gives a foundation to calculate and prove efficiency. In the context of project documentation, PM Plan serves as the basis and outlines the commissioning plan for the complete execution.

What is Risk Identification? Tools of Risk Identification Software

Risk identification in project management is the core task within the risk management process to describe and classify risks. By means of risk identification software tools, all the information gathered and analyzed during the identification of risks serves as a foundation for further risk analysis, evaluation and estimation.

Risk Identification

In any project, uncertainties exist and unexpected events may occur suddenly, so at a critical time there might be no person who could identify those risks, find risk treatment solutions and apply risk management and analysis tools in order to eliminate or at least mitigate the likelihood of risk occurrence. A project manager performing risk identification and assessment activities can filter inessential or false threats and focusing on project-related risks in order to make the project less risky. When the project manager together with the project team wants to detect risks, he/she needs to use risk identification software tools that help carry out the risk identification process including describing and classifying risks.

Actually, the problem of project risk identification and risk responding can be successfully handled if the project manager understands risk identification definition (what is risk identification?) and knows how to run a simplified process for identifying risks. Such an understanding can be obtained when the project manager establishes a risk identification and mitigation system that includes to the following core elements:
