The whole point of undertaking a project is to achieve or establish something new, to venture, to take chances, to risk." -Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), 1987.
So we begin with: Risk is not necessarily bad, since it is a feature of almost every activity that we perform (Rather what we do not perform also!!). In projects we have some degree of uncertainty due to the environment in which they are executed and assumptions associated with them. Other direct influencing factors are ‘Constraints’ from client, vendors as well as from our own organization.
Risk is a well-known ‘Fact’. Even client is aware of different risks in the project. Hence Project manager and his team should do the risk evaluation in co ordination with client. This way it helps both, the PM and the client to be on same plane about the project risks. There are two sides of the Risk “Coin”! Threat and Opportunity. Download
