Risk management is the final stage in the risk management process. It is used to control and monitor the uncertainties during the project. When managing a project, uncertainties are one of the most important factors to control in order to achieve a successful project. Uncertainties occur when certain events in a project are unpredictable and it will only be possible to guess about a future event. Risk management is used to identify risks in the project that help maintain stability and used to prevent unforeseen events that can be cost, resource or time consuming. By using risk management, it is possible to ensure that the project team achieves the goals they are solving by not encountering many unpredictable obstacles during the project.
The risk management process is a five-step monitoring process that establishes context, identifies, analyzes, evaluates and addresses potential risks over the life of a project. By managing the project using responses to threats and opportunities, it becomes possible to minimize the impact of the risk. If this can be done in a successful way, better risk management is achieved and it will thus be possible to reduce the impact of the uncertainties in the project. By using Rumsfeld's (un)known-unknowns, it becomes possible to reduce the risk by establishing precautions that can prevent or reduce the uncertainties from arising.
When working with risk treatment, there are some limitations. One of the crucial limitations is the lack of knowledge sharing. The lack of knowledge sharing leads to a greater amount of uncertainties that could have been prevented. However, not all uncertainties can be prevented and even perfectly planned projects have their limitations. By having a greater amount of expertise, a higher level of risk treatment can be performed and will minimize the risk by identifying crucial uncertainties in the project.

Introduction
The risk management process
Risk management is a process that works to manage risks to ensure that it cause the least impact in the project. Risk management is based on assumptions and experience from previous projects. However, many assumptions are uncertain which can have an effect on the project's original scope. The Project Management Institute (PMI), describes risks as "An uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives" [2]. By successfully navigating the uncertainty, risk can be managed in a way that is most beneficial to the project scope.
The process involves a "systematic application of policies, procedures and practices to the activities of communicating and consulting, establishing the context and assessing, treating, monitoring, reviewing, recording and reporting risk" [1]. It should be noted that there can be many different applications of the risk management process, as it can be adapted to a particular project to achieve specific goals within the organization.
When operating the risk management process, take into account that the process is an iterative approach and it is important to go back and assess whether there have been changes in the previous stages that could create new potential risks that the project manager must be aware of. The stages are illustrated in Figure 1 [1].

reduced and can have a positive impact on the project
By successfully navigating the uncertainties, the risk can be reduced and will have the greatest benefit to the project and can have a positive impact on the project.
it has succeeded
Risk management can therefore be beneficial if they are managed correctly and harmful if not.
risk management can therefore be both beneficial or harmful and must therefore be handled in a way that has the best impact on the project.

NOTES:
When reacting to threats, ARTA (Avoid, Reduce, Transfer, Accept) can be used as an approach to the Risk Management Process. The goal is to reduce the impact to zero by either avoiding, reducing or transferring the risks.
Some of the response strategies to threats and Opportunities will also be highlighted in this article
