Risk management is one of today's hottest topics. Most industries are now highly competitive and the project management mantra is 'faster, cheaper, better'. With these pressures comes risk.

Good risk management can mean the difference between a project's success or  failure. Good risk management allows us to respond proactively to risk and also allows us to react better to those risks that do occur.

Risk management is of critical concern to all project managers. One of the few certainties about projects is that they will involve risk and because of this, those risks need to be planned for and managed in a rational and methodical manner.
