Risk Management"Since you don't know what you don't know, it is virtually impossible to remove all possible risks from a project. This is not intended to be a defeatist attitude in anyway. Our objective in recognizing this reality is not only to work harder to mitigate known risks, but also to build a risk management strategy that can deal with unforeseen events." "A risk management strategy also involves balancing the costs of defining and building risk mitigation strategies and contingency plans with the benefits of avoiding a specific risk - when evaluated against probability of occurrence and impact to the project." "Risk can overwhelm a project for several reasons, including the following:
"Invoking a project rescue intervention implies that at least one of the project risks has occurred. This chapter presents a methodology and framework for reworking the original project risk assessment so that it will be more effective during the rescue process. The next chapter examines specific risk factors and how to deal with them."
