Scheduling can make or break a project. While the success of a project management initiative depends greatly upon both adequate planning and efficient execution, realistic scheduling is sometimes underestimated.

Meanwhile, adding more accuracy and explicitness to the project schedule lets align the entire work with stakeholder expectations and accounts for true risk exposure.
The Project Risk Analysis Guide provides only general recommendations regarding the processes involved in project risk analysis. It presents a simple yet practical approach to help project managers, analysts and other personnel in getting started with identifying and managing risks affecting their projects. The Guide does not provide a definitive explanation of all the methods, techniques and tools that can be utilized in complete risk analysis and management.

This approach can be used in most projects for analyzing and responding to most types of risk.

Let’s try to combine business management to project risk management.
