Presentation: Tweet"Risk Management is Project Management For Grown-Ups"
Many organizations are childlike. They blithely plan each project as if nothing will go wrong. And then, when something does go wrong, they are shocked and dismayed. Risk management is not just worrying about your project, and it is not about running away from risk. Risk management for software projects is all about when you make decisions and when you take action. How do you deal with uncertainty? When do you decide to deal with a risk while it is still just a risk, and when do you decide to wait to see if the risk does turn into a problem and manage it then?
When done with utmost skill and to its greatest advantage, risk management starts before a project is even born. (And how do projects get started in your organization?) Tim Lister presents the advantages—and the dangers—of practicing risk management in an adult-like fashion. Tim offers a process for you to consider tailoring for your organization and discusses how your organization can grow up.
