Project managers hate risks. But is this always a good thing? When projects are established, there's a lot of focus on budgets, schedules and scope (and the relationships between those constraints). Here, we argue that there should be more conscious focus on the role that risks play in that equation--and explore why you shouldn’t always try to minimize negative risks.

If you are part of a middle-size company and share these concerns, here are some ideas on how to improve your risk.
