[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],Determine how important each risk is based on an assessment of two factors...
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],The impact the risk would have on the project if it were to turn into an issue
[object Object],[object Object]
...the actions that can be taken to make it more acceptable
Who should come to a risk workshop?
[object Object],[object Object]
When should the first risk workshop take place?
As soon as your core team is identified, and…
… your objectives and scope are outlined.
Subsequent risk workshops should be held frequently throughout the project
[object Object]
...impact and probability The importance of each risk can range from ‘insignificant’ up to ‘critical’.
[object Object]
...it requires plenty of preparation.
The risk workshop can be formal…
… or informal…
...but should follow a set framework...
...and last no more than one hour.
The risk workshop needs to follow a few steps…
1.   Remind everyone of the project scope
2.  Tell everyone the status of the project
… this will help get the ball rolling 3.  Provide some risk examples…
… this is where everyone starts to  get involved… 4.  Risk identification…
...all meeting attendees receive a pad of post-it notes...
… and then five minutes of silence….
… while all attendees make a note of every risk that they can think of.
5.  All risks are then collated… …  you might be surprised how many are found.
6.  As a group, each risk is assessed… … and a ‘high’, ‘medium’, or ‘low’ score is given for impact  and  probability.
7.  If time permits, evaluate each risk....
...and  determine whether each one is acceptable.  If not.. .
...the required actions to make it more acceptable are captured.
Meeting minutes and any follow on actions must be recorded... ...and distributed shortly after the meeting.
What happens next?
Monitor and control of actions to address the identified threats
Adjust the project schedule based on risk mitigation actions
...by being risk aware rather than risk averse! This approach will increase the chances  of success...
