The Essence of Risk Identification in Project Risk Management: An Overview (original) (raw)

PROJECT RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is defined as an event that has a probability of occurring, and could have either a positive or negative impact to a project should that risk occur.(Van Scoy, 1992) Risk management is a broad factor affecting quite a number of business sectors however it’s also a factor which must be addressed by every human being on earth regarding their way of living otherwise if ignored human life is left in harm’s way and susceptible to death, diseases and poverty. However to a project, risk management is an ongoing process that continues through the life of a project. It includes processes for risk management planning, identification, analysis, monitoring and control. Many of these processes are updated throughout the project lifecycle as new risks can be identified at any time. It’s the objective of risk management to decrease the probability and impact of events adverse to the project. On the other hand, any event that could have a positive impact should be exploited. (Laurie Williams 2004). The purpose of this Essay is to address the challenge of dealing with risks and opportunities professionally which is becoming one of the key success factors in business today. Most companies have realized the requirements turbulent markets present and have started to adapt to this turbulence. But risks and opportunities are greater in turbulent markets, so they call for active strategic risk management.

Review of Project Risk Management and Risk Assessment

2019

Identify the risk of project and develop the strategies to reduce the effect of risk or prevent the risk from occurring is the main objective of the Project Risk Management. Due to uncertainty the project risk occurs. The possibilities are always there that something known or unknown can happen and it could affect the goal of project. Being prepared to handle the risk is known as risk management. The processes, things or situations that can harm the people or organization identified through a look by risk assessment. It evaluates and analyzes the risk after its identification. To control the harm from happening and to eliminate effectively it can decide the measure after the determination of risk

Risk Analysis for Project Management

2018

This paper illustrates various activities, where identification of risk is a primary task before its actual occurrence whereas proper plan can be done and executed to handle the risk during project period and complete the project successfully. The study has been done to find out the common risk, during project. The study was based on data, having experiences of 5 to 20 years from various fields contributing in different project phases. During survey it was found that 72% of respondents think that the budget and resource provided for project are probably sufficient, with margin. It may not be 100% realistic but can be managed with some addition efforts. Budget is complete financial estimation of the cost required for each and every task to achieve the goal or success of the project over project life cycle. 60% of respondents believe that timeline provided by the institute for the project is not enough to compete the scheduling and planning of the project. According to 80% respondents...

Improving risk identification process in project management

Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, 2016

Nowadays there are many information systems which aim the decision-making, automating the processes of project management. However, many times these systems limit the specific functions related to risk management processes and do not allow the control and effective treatment of uncertain events that may affect the project goals. Thus, this paper proposes the integrated use of the Delphi Technique and Risk Breakdown Structure-RBS in order to contribute to the identification of risks, considering the opportunities and threats in a project, to enhance the beneficial effects of the opportunities and avoid the harmful effects of threats. For the evaluation of the results, it was performed the improvement of a system called System to Aid Project Managing-SAPM, in order to support the automated execution of risk management with an emphasis on risk identification process, since this is a crucial stage for risk management in projects. As a result of this work, it is observed that the combined use of the Delphi Technique and RBS allows the risk identification process can be performed fast and safely through the anonymity of those involved and global visualization of the project.

Project Risk Management: Comparative Analysis of Methods for Project Risks Assessment

Collegium Antropologicum, 2014

Analysis of project risks leads to a deeper understanding of potential problems in the course of the project. A number of techniques and tools are used to that purpose, which can ensure effective assessments both quantitative assessments and measures for every project risk, and qualitative assessment in order to sort project risks according to their rank and category. This article analyzes some of the methods from the aspect of their advantages and disadvantages in application with the aim to facilitate the selection of the most convenient method for the particular project. A comparison was made of the following methods: PERT, Brainstorming, Delphi, Monte Carlo, sensitivity analysis method, probability analysis method, and the Decision Tree. Comparative analysis of methods for the assessment of project risks include those variables that have a major impact on the cost, time, or benefits, on which the project is most sensitive to. It is based on the relation of a particular technique or tools towards the description of the risk, towards all possible outcomes of risk, magnitude or seriousness of outcome, probability of the appearance of the risk event, probability of the possible outcome, time of the risk event and the interaction of the outcome of the risk with other parts of the observed project or of other projects.

A new method for Project risk identification: Case study of a real construction project

2015

Compared with many other sectors, a construction project is a subject to more risks due to its specific characteristics such as long period, complicated processes, abominable environment, financial intensity and dynamic organization structure. Managing risks is recognized as a very important management process in order to assure its successful delivery. It aims at identifying sources of risk and uncertainty, determining their impact, and developing appropriate management response. This paper presents a new method called "Three- Dimensional Risk Identification" (TRI) proposed for the identification of a construction project risks. A case study of a real construction project is used to illustrate this approach.

An Innovative Approach for Risk Identification and Management in Software Projects

International Journal of Computer Sciences and Engineering, 2019

Risk is a potential issue that may trade off the achievement of a product advancement venture. The success of a project is altogether impacted by the risk management. The exactness of risk assessment specifically impacts the adequacy of risk management. In this paper, we examine the chance components. The Risk-matrix has been inspected and a checklist is made to perceive the significance of the risk .This paper deals with the risk factors identified with risk estimation ,risk analysis, venture board, risk scope, prerequisites and hazard factors identified with client fulfilment .Here we are adopting a method which consists of 2 phases. The first one is the risk identification and second is the risk management planning. Identification of the risk involves analytical methods like a risk checklist which evaluates the risk and risk assessment matrix. In risk checklist the probability of occurrences is taken and the possible negative effects for each risk is identified. Management of the risk involves various measures to be adopted to reduce the probability of risk events and to reduce the negative impacts of the risk events.
