A Project Management Report on Risk
Managing risks of projects is a process that requires thorough risk assessment and a
mitigation plan for those very risks. Risk assessment varies from both the identification of
potential risks and evaluation of the potential impacts of these risks. Risk mitigation plans are
designed with a purpose of eliminating and sometimes minimizes the impact of the risk event
and the occurrences that will cause an adverse impact on a project. Identifying a risk is a creative
and a disciplined process. These creative processes include brainstorming sessions in which
teams are asked to create a list of risks that a project may encounter. All ideas are taken seriously
at this stage and the evaluation of these ideas taken later on to ensure a smooth workflow, during
the development of the project.
Purpose
In the current project that our company SuperPacks, decided to venture on, I together
with my team conducted a risk assessment...
