Managing Project Issues and Risk in a Third Generation Project Business System

project risk management

Managing projects is no easy task and there are so many things that could go wrong. Known and unknown risks threaten not only individual projects, but the overall business itself. Many project-based companies struggle to keep track of all those risks and don’t have a system in place that automatically alerts the right people to the right information.

Project issues are not discovered until after they cause major problems, which often results in a delay or significant added costs. This is a direct result of managing projects in disparate systems and applications. There’s no way to monitor financial and operational data in real time. Consolidating and integrating project data from different applications is not only time consuming but increases the chances of problems being overlooked. As a result, it’s almost impossible to present actionable intelligence to the right people the instant a problem occurs.

Project risk management should provide early detection of issues before they become big problems.
