Risk management process
Risk management process (RMP) is a concept or a framework to managing risk both internal and external in all industries. It is a concept that has been coming popular for project managers in projects to improve performance and increase the profit. This concept helps management teams to construct a strong and systematic approach to the risk identification. With risk process and strong project management practice the problems in a project can by decreased and could also help to resolve problems that occur later on in projects.
Risk vary in projects because of the uniqueness of every project and due to that fact the concept RMP is very robust approach. Identification, understanding and managing critical risk that can harm the project a concept needs to be followed.
Risk management in project should be throughout the project life cycle. In some cases the risk management is primarily done in the design phase of the project, but should be also manage in the construction phase. The RMP is a five step process that is following [1].
- Step 1 – Establish the context
- Step 2 – Identify the risk
- Step 3 – Analyse the risk
- Step 4 – Evaluate the risk
- Step 5 – Treat the risk
The risk management process is essential to manage those risk that can occur in projects and to be able to mitigate those risks. This wiki article aims to go through those steps mention above with few techniques and methods that are well known in risk management and how to apply them along the project life cycle. Furthermore, the background of risk management, advantages and RMP limitation will also be discussed.

Application of risk management process
The RMP is not a standalone concept that can be implemented into project or organization. To be able to managing risk effectively through the RMP a well define risk management framework has to be clear. The framework will provide the foundation for success risk management. The RMP at each step will communicate with the risk management framework, as can be seen in Figure 1, and therefore establish a holistic approach to risk management.
RMP can be seen in Figure 2, the five steps in the RMP are well defined and easy to follow with good management practice. In this section the five RMP steps will be explain further and how it can be applied to managing risk. Furthermore, few techniques and methods will be mention to explain what is used in practice today.
