Project Risk Management

and Mitigation Strategies


Understanding Risk in Projects & Effective Management Approaches.
Introduction to Project Risk Management

• Definition: The process of identifying, assessing, and


responding to risks in a project.
• Why is it important?
• Minimizes project failures
• Reduces financial losses
• Enhances decision-making
Social Cost-Benefit Analysis (SCBA)

•Definition: Evaluates both financial and non-financial impacts of a project.

•Key Elements:
•Direct & indirect costs
•Environmental & social impact
•Future benefits vs. present costs

•Purpose: Helps in making informed project decisions.


Project Control

•Definition: Ensuring the project stays within scope, budget, and schedule.

•Methods:
•Cost Control (Variance Analysis)
•Schedule Tracking (Critical Path Method)
•Change Management Strategies

•Objective: Reduces project risks and prevents cost overruns.


Project Management – Measuring,
Monitoring & Tracking
• Definition: Continuous assessment of project performance.

• Techniques:
• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Earned Value Management (EVM)
• Gantt Charts & Dashboards

• Benefit: Enables early risk identification and corrective actions.


Resource Allocation

• Definition: Efficient distribution of resources for project


success.

• Techniques:
• Prioritization of critical tasks
• Time-constrained vs. Resource-constrained allocation
• Balancing workload among team members

• Challenges: Avoiding over-allocation and conflicts.


Scheduling in Project Management

•Definition: Planning activities to ensure timely project completion.

•Techniques:
•Gantt Charts, PERT, CPM
•Agile vs. Waterfall Scheduling
•Milestone & Deadline Tracking

•Importance: Helps in reducing project delays.


Purchasing & Procurement in Projects

•Definition: Acquiring goods/services for the project.

•Process:
•Vendor Selection & Contract Negotiation
•Cost-Benefit Analysis in Purchasing
•Risk in Supply Chain & Contingency Planning

•Importance: Ensures quality resources within budget.


Identifying Project Risks

•Types of Risks:
•Financial, Operational, Technical, Environmental, Legal

•Risk Identification Methods:


•SWOT Analysis
•Probability & Impact Matrix
•Brainstorming & Expert Opinions

•Why is it necessary? Prevents unforeseen project failures


Risk Mitigation Strategies

• Definition: Actions taken to reduce project risks.

• Common Strategies:
• Avoidance: Eliminating risk sources
• Mitigation: Reducing risk impact
• Transfer: Insurance, outsourcing
• Acceptance: Preparing contingency plans

• Benefit: Ensures project stability and smooth execution.


Case Study / Real-World Example

• Example of a project that failed due to poor risk management.


• Example of a successful project with strong risk mitigation
strategies.
• Lessons learned from both cases.
Conclusion & Key Takeaways

• Risk management is essential for project success.


• Proactive planning helps in minimizing uncertainties.
• Effective resource allocation, scheduling, and cost-benefit
analysis improve project outcomes.
• Continuous monitoring and control prevent project failures.
