RISK
The meaning “risk” has three characteristics that should be understood:
- Risk is related to an uncertain event
- Risk may affect the project for good or bad.
- There is a difference between Individual Project Risk and Overall Project Risk. An Individual risk threatens an objective while an Overall risk affects the success of the overall project.
The Risk approach needs to be tailored to fit with the factors that influence the project: Size of Project, Project Complexity, Inherent Project Risk, Project Methodology, Importance.
