Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Mehdi
It is not advantage or Disadvantage. Lake of Risk management knowledge in built environment. Also some of projects have been delivered the client expectation in ASIA.
Nevertheless, In UK some of projects have not delivered the client expectation ex- The British Library (5 years delay), The Scottish Parliament Building (3.5 years delay), etc this is due to lack of risk management and others.

risk factor is a variable associated with an increased risk of disease or infection. Risk factors are correlational and not necessarily causal, because correlation does not imply causation. For example, being young cannot be said to cause measles, but young people are more at risk as they are less likely to have developed immunity during a previous epidemic

Dear sathis,
You are right.
But in the real project lifecycle we find some risk that we don’t forecast them.
Also in the PMBOK define only base line of risk factors.

Hi Mehdi

The PMI’s Project Management Book of Knowledge (2000) defines risk as

• “an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on a projects objectives”
The term ‘risk’ encourages a threat perspective, then it follows that risk management focuses on the downside and is preoccupied with minimising perceived threats. Also, risk, having quantifiable attributes (probability and event) encourages a focus on specified, identifiable events.

Hi Mehdi

Why we needs to do risk analysis in a project? Because of risk could be cost inovlments to the project. That risk involvement should identify who is shared at what prices. Client will to make profit and need to make some investment for a return a project.

Risk shall be involved at Strategic and tactic stages in a project life cycle. I.e. Concept, brifing, sketch design, detai design and construction stages that risks shall be involed.


Breaking the project down into its strategic and tactical phases that constitute the PLC Risk Management role to play throughout of PLC. End of day client looking to the return what they expected. That why we need to do risk monitor, controlled in PLC for the cilent expectaion which is time, cost and qality of project delivery.

Hi Mehdi,

Risk factor is normally more in the beginning of the project as lot of unknown in the begening. At the end of the project risk is almost nill as you have already completed majority of the project and you had been through all or most of the risk events.

Thanks & regards

Dear friends,
You all right, but in any step of project has a risk factor.
On the other hand risk analysis depend on the project cycle.

I agree with Dinesh! Risk analysis is an evaluation of the viability of the project, while Project life cycle defines the timely delivery of the Project.

Hi,

Project Life Cycle is the period starts from project inception to its disposal and the risk analysis deals with identification and analysis of risk related to different aspects involve in the project life cycle.

I hope this is useful.
