Risk - Positive and Negative

Posted by on
Risk is an uncertainty that can have a negative or positive effect on meeting project objectives, (Schwalbe, 2014).

Negative risk are usually the the one that are generally focused during a project, largely due to their perceived power to cause projects to fail in meeting its objectives (Cost, Quality, Time or Financial goals)





Schwalbe outline four (4) basic response strategies for negative risks:

  1. Risk avoidance or eliminating a specific threat.
  2. Risk acceptance or accepting the consequences if a risk occurs.
  3. Risk transference or shifting the consequence of a risk and responsibility for its
    management to a third party.
  4. Risk mitigation or reducing the impact of a risk event by reducing the probability of its occurrence.
