Caution: Rising Risk
Today, more than ever, Information Technology projects compound the risk of multiple new technologies. For example, Web-Based or Client/Server projects promise great benefits, but they often fail. Some companies ignore the risks, hoping they will go away. Some pay consulting firms to manage the risks for them.

Now you can use our KnowRisk® Services to:
  1. Recognize the risks,
  2. Select risk avoidance, containment and management responses, and then
  3. Implement and evaluate the risk responses. The result:
  4. Reap the benefits of improved risk management.

Introducing KnowRisk: What is KnowRisk?
KnowRisk is an Information Technology risk management service, provided by ProjectExperts. We base KnowRisk on our risk assessment and evaluation experience, a service of our project management consulting practice. With KnowRisk, you can identify project risks that you might otherwise overlook, then evaluate, select and implement recommended risk management options.

Why KnowRisk?
The primary purpose of risk assessment is to improve communication among those who should manage risks. Some risks are within the project leader's control, but are not identified soon enough to avoid them. Some are out of the immediate team's control, but well within the control of customer or Information Technology managers.

KnowRisk Logo The KnowRisk process brings together team members and managers to discuss project risks. You identify the impact of those risks, if left unmanaged. You discuss our recommended ways to can manage the risks, to reduce their impact on your project. Then you commit to risk avoidance, containment and management methods. If you want to significantly reduce the risks in your project, KnowRisk supports that risk reduction.

Part of our Facilitated RIP Sessions
Originally, KnowRisk was only available through our Rapid Initial Planning (RIP) consulting service. In a RIP session, we work with customer and Information Technology managers and key team members to produce a complete project deliverable. For example, our RIP Initiation produces early estimates, risk assessment, and a preliminary project plan. As a result of customer requests, KnowRisk is now available as a stand-alone service as well. The methods KnowRisk supports are compliant with PMBOK® Guide, with the Australian/New Zealand AS/NZS 4360:2004 Standards.
