PM Skill #7: Risk Management

Risk is high at the beginning of the project and gradually goes down as the project progresses to closure.  To a seasoned project manager, risk management is a never ending process since risk is almost always present.  If managed incorrectly, risks can force re-work, waste resources, and possibly bring a project to a halt.

Bart Jutte provides a solid set of guidelines for risk management in the blog post "10 Golden Rules of Project Risk Management".  Jutte notes that "Tracking tasks is a day-to-day job for each project manager" and "Integrating risk tasks into that daily routine is the easiest solution."

Incorporating good risk management should be second nature to the project manager.
