INTRODUCTION
Regardless of who or what the causes are, delay and disruption can wound and sometimes kill a project. The goal of risk management is to identify all project risks (both positive and negative) and to assist in developing proactive strategies of response.
It’s a fact of life in almost all aspects of what we do that if we can work efficiently, we will be more productive and get the job done in the shortest possible time. However, no one can control disruptions and the delays it will incur to projects. Regardless of the causes are, delays and disruption can wound and sometimes kill a project. The goal of risk management is to identify all project risks (both positive and negative) and to assist in developing proactive strategies of response.
