What exactly is risk from the viewpoint of a project manager or business with responsibility for planning, organising and managing projects?

How can it be managed effectively and who should be responsible for this task? You are required to critically analyse the concept of risk; discuss how it can be measured and ranked and outline how a project risk management strategy may be constructed for a project involving a new technology developed by an international team that is to be launched within a six month time period. In completing this assignment, you should address how appropriate risk management strategies can assist in minimising risk for the project. Remember this is an academic piece of work a literature review is mandatory.

Yes, in order to address the "examples" section of the marking scheme, I would expect you to be specific about some of the risks, some of the risk measurement/analysis/management strategies that you would look at … it is always a good idea to link practice and theory – thus showing the rationale for your choices. 1. For the style of the paper, who is the ‘audience’ are we writing as to a professional in the field or as if to another student? I think writing it for another student would be appropriate – as necessarily that would push you to show both awareness and understanding of the theories and concepts discussed. discuss the theoretical (and thus abstract) ways in which risk is managed and measured – while in the practical part, you would show how these theoretical views can be applied in practice to a project such as the one mentioned in the brief.
