RISkatch • Grip on risks

Risk process

A practical rhythm for managing project risks.

Risk management works best when it is part of regular project decisions. RISkatch helps teams move from an early scan to assessment, action and review in a process aligned with ISO 31000.

1

Identification

Describe the project goals, dependencies and commitments. Ask what events could affect cost, time, quality or safety. Record threats and opportunities in clear language so the team can discuss them.

2

Analysis

Estimate how likely each risk is and what its impact could be. Consider financial, operational and other relevant effects. Note the assumptions behind the assessment and add detail where the consequences are significant.

3

Evaluation

Compare the analysis with the project's agreed risk limits and priorities. Decide which risks need attention now, which can be watched and which need a decision from leadership.

4

Treatment

Choose how to respond to each priority risk. The team can reduce a threat, change its approach, accept the exposure or pursue an opportunity. Document the chosen measure and the expected effect.

5

Actions

Turn the response into work that can be completed. Give every action an owner, a due date and a clear result. Review open actions with the people responsible for delivery.

6

Monitoring

Watch early signals, changes in likelihood or impact and the effect of completed measures. Reassess risks when the project, supplier or environment changes.

7

Recording

Keep the risk register current. Store assessments, decisions, owners, actions and review dates together so the team can trace how the risk picture developed.

8

Reporting

Share a concise view of the main risks, changes and outstanding decisions. Tailor the detail to the project team, sponsors and leadership so each group can act on it.
