The Importance of Risk Management can never be Underestimated

The importance of risk management can never be underestimated when you are involved in a business venture to establish a new revenue stream. The risks of running a business and the impact many of them have are what causes the nightmares for many business professionals. Handling of the risk properly and correctly each time they make impact is paramount to having a successful project.

The real importance of risk management can be seen by looking back on the past projects within your own organization that were considered failures. A good number of them failed because of the project manager not being properly prepared for a risk that made a negative impact on the project during its execution phase. The impact of a risk can cause the progression of the deliverable to come to a stretching halt or could have been such a huge financial burden that the project had to be scraped. In either instance, it could have been avoided with the proper planning on just how to deal with risks in your business sector.

Another way the importance of risk management can be judged is by the fact that dealing with all the risks that could impact a project is considered a separate process all to itself. Just like there needs to be a communication plan for your project, there is also a great need for a risk management plan. In this risk plan, the project manager can set out all the risks that could make an impact with their project. They can also then decide how to mitigate these risks in advance of their impact. Being prepared with a plan of action when it comes to the risks in your industry is the best way to never be caught off guard.

By knowing the importance of risk management and how it will relate to your business ventures is the best way to properly deal with them. Just reacting to the impact of a risk is foolish and counterproductive in the business world. By having a risk management plan in place, you can prevent most of the problems the risk will threaten your project with.

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders.
