Project Risk Management

• Project Risk– Definition: “A risk is

something that may happen and if it does, will have a positive or negative impact on the project” ---Black Swan?

– A risk must also have a probability something above 0%. It must be a chance to happen or it is not a risk.

– If it has a probability of 100% - in other words it will happen - it is an issue (not a risk).

Risk Management Plan

– Risk Identification– Risk Monitoring and Control
