| WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO UNDERTAKE RISK
MANAGEMENT? Unfortunately there is no set answer, as every
project differs in size, time and degree of criticality. However, we do suggest
the following..
-
Optionally, undertake a preliminary risk
management workshop right at the outset - even though all details may not
yet be clear. This sets a benchmark, and sends a clear message that
risk management is taken seriously.
-
As one of the final steps in creating the
project execution plan (detailed project plan) a thorough risk analysis
should be completed.
-
At regular intervals, undertake risk analysis
reviews to determine the effectiveness of any mitigation strategies, and to
uncover any new threats that may have occurred.
-
Finally, make sure to do another thorough
workshop at before moving into the implementation stage. This is when
there is a greater temptation to skip 'non-core' elements of the project,
and it is often one of the riskiest parts of any project.
