Last month we looked at how agile methods provide multiple opportunities for embracing proactive risk management. This month’s article extends risk management beyond the project manager role and introduces the benefits of making it more of a collaborative team exercise.
We've already looked at the opportunities agile methods offer for proactive risk management and examined the benefits of engaging the whole team in risk management through collaborative games. As our agile risk management series continues, we walk through those games and explains how to engage a team in the first three of the six risk management steps.
Engaging those closest to the risks and best equipped to resolve them (the team) in the process of measuring and acting on risks and opportunities is vital.

Why do so many project managers fail to deal with risks on their projects? In this article, we examine some of the reasons and explore some ways to tackle the problem.

Poor risk management can be fatal to any project. But what happens when properly planning for risk factors really is a matter of life and death? This article examines how the staff at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago moved more than 100 critically ill children from an aging facility to the new Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
Agile methods incorporate many mechanisms for dealing with late-breaking changes that also lend themselves to proactively responding to risks. Here we explore how these methods make effective risk management easier to implement.

The author outlines 16 unidentified project risk elements, each attributed to the aptitude or the attitude of project participants, along with recommended risk mitigations.
Key IT governance activities--such as IT alignment, IT resource management, IT spend management and transformation, IT risk management and IT performance monitoring and improvement--must be supported by an agile and credible cost, schedule and risk estimating discipline to be successful.
