1-15.1 Risk Management Process

Risk management comprises five steps:

  1. Identification — search for and locate risks.
  2. Analysis — transform risk data into decision-making information.
  3. Response planning — translate risk information into executable plans and actions.
  4. Tracking and control — monitor risk indicators and take corrective actions.
  5. Reaction — implement risk actions in response to actual risk occurrence.

Analysis, response planning, and tracking are performed iteratively throughout the execution of the project, as illustrated in Figure 1.9.
