Managing threats and opportunities in risk treatment

Developed by Theis Rosenkvist Sørensen

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.

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

Risk treatment is a way to manage and act on the identified risks.
