Program/Project Management Resource List #22
Developed Nov. 2006
Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library
"The whole point of undertaking a project is to achieve
or establish something new, to venture, to take chances, to risk."
(Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), 1987)
Project risk management seeks to anticipate and address uncertainties that
threaten the goals and timetables of a project. The uncertainties may include
questions of material and parts quality; delays in delivery of sufficient materials
to meet project needs; budgetary and personnel changes; and, incomplete knowledge
or research. These risks lead rapidly to delays in delivery dates and budget
overages that can severely undermine confidence in the project and in the project
manager. Since project risk management is process oriented, it remains possible
to have a successful project and an unsuccessful product (for example, an office
construction project that meets or beats all time, budgetary, and quality requirements
yet opens in a depressed real estate market.) While any project accepts a certain
level of risk, regular and rigorous risk analysis and risk management techniques
serve to defuse problems before they arise.
The Management
of Safety & Technical Risks bibliography explores risk from the perspective
of evaluating and anticipating chemical, engineering, and reliability concerns
that may pose a threat to personnel, equipment, the public and the environment.
