Project Risk Management Overview

Project risk management involves conducting risk management planning, identification, analysis, responses, and monitoring and control of a project's risks. It aims to increase the probability of positive events and decrease the probability of negative events affecting the project's objectives. The key processes include risk management planning, identification, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, response planning, and monitoring and control. As a project progresses, the project manager must revisit the risk identification and analysis and adjust the response plans accordingly. The project manager plays an important role in overseeing the risk management process, encouraging management support, monitoring risks, and reporting risk status to stakeholders.
