Risk Monitoring
Risk Monitoring

Project risk control and risk monitoring is where you keep track of about how your risk responses are
performing against the plan as well as the place where new risks to the project are managed.
You must remember that risks can have negative and positive impacts. Positive risk is a risk taken by the
project because its potential benefits outweigh the traditional approach and a negative risk is one that
could negatively influence the cost of the project or its schedule.
– Identify the events that can have a direct effect in the project deliverables
– Assign qualitative and quantitative weight—the probability and consequences of those events that
might affect the project deliverables
– Produce alternate paths of execution for events that are out of your control or can not be mitigated
– Implement a continuous process for identifying, qualifying, quantifying, and responding to new risks
– To determine if risk exposure has changed, evolved, or declined due to trends in the project
progression

Risk triggers are those events that will cause the threat of a risk to become a reality. For example, you
have identified the fact that you only have one pump set available and the replacement takes six weeks
to arrive. In the middle of your irrigation and recycling process tests, you discover that water pressure
tends to fluctuate beyond pump tolerance levels. If you do not find a way to solve this problem, your
risk will become a reality.
Make sure that for each identified risk, you must provide a response plan. It is not much help to you if
the risk becomes a reality or issue and you do not have an alternate execution path or some other
emergency procurement plan.
