The concept of risk is inherent in any project. One way to contain risk is through risk management. Risk management involves the identification of risks, analysis of exposure to the risks in a development effort, and execution of the risk management plan.

52. Closing Thoughts … Few companies can grow without taking risks. But poor risk management leads to surprises in business operations that can impact shareholder confidence, regulatory oversight and the bottom line.

53. I am not suggesting that we can eliminate all project risks, nor do we want to … some risks are good I am also not suggesting that projects will never fail again … when organizations fail to react to information, projects can still fail

54. What I am suggesting is that if there isn’t a “Risk Identification, Assessment, and Mitigation Process” implemented on all of your projects then you are just waiting for projects to fall behind schedule or fail.

55. Remember … “ Managing risk does not deal with future decisions, but the future of present decisions”
