Risk Management in Agile projects - how do you control, monitor, identify them?

@John -

While I agree with your comment at the conceptual level, I have found in practice "joint" or "shared" responsibility means no one is responsible. From another angle, it is unreasonable to share fiscal risk, for example, on a team member who is not charged with any fiscal responsibility and can take no direct steps to mitigate it.

So while there is no denying all project teams share in the outcome of their respective projects, properly managed risk (across a myriad of areas) must ultimately be owned by single individuals who have the ability and responsibility to take the necessary actions to avoid, reduce or eliminate it. Otherwise, and I think you'll appreciate this based on your blogging topics, a great deal of waste will be generated by folks who can't do anything to address the risks at hand.

Kindest regards,
