2.5. HOOFDSTUK 18 – MANAGING RISK (P.281-305)
2.5.1. RISK CONCEPTS
Managing risk in projects includes all sources of uncertainty, can be both positive and/or negative and can also
exists at the overall project level. The two levels of risks include:
1. Risks in the project:
o Risk events/individual risk = a specific discrete thing that might or might not happen in the
future, but which if they did happen would have a significant effect on achievement of one or
more project objectives.
2. Risk of the project (two definitions):
o Project risk = the exposure of stakeholders to the consequences of variations in the outcome
o Overall project risk = the effect of uncertainty on the project as a whole
The project manager is required to manage:
- Individual risk/risk events -> identifying, assessing and managing individual risk
- (overall) project risk -> account to the project sponsor, project owner and other stakeholders overall
project risk
How to manage both type of risks:
▪ Overall project risk should be addressed as soon as the
pre-project or concept phase, when the scope and
objectives are clarified and agreed upon.
o Risk-reward balance should be agreed upon
through decisions about structure, scope,
content and context of the project
▪ When the project is initiated traditional project risk
process can be used to address explicitly the individual risks that lie within the project.
▪ At key points in the project it will be necessary to revisit the assessment of overall project risk
