PMI Risk Analysis and Management

Source

Summary

The Project Management Institute article describes project risk analysis as a structured process for identifying risks, estimating probability and impact, calculating exposure, assigning owners, documenting triggers, and defining responses. It emphasizes that a risk register should be actionable and owned, not just a list of concerns.

Relevant Findings

  • Risk exposure can be scored by multiplying probability and impact.
  • Each risk should have a trigger that signals the risk has occurred or is likely to occur.
  • A risk owner should be named and should be the person best positioned to monitor triggers and drive countermeasures.
  • Risk responses should include countermeasures and contingency planning.
  • The register should support active management and review, not static documentation.

HELIX Usage

This resource informs the Risk Register artifact. HELIX uses it to keep risk entries specific, scored, owned, trigger-driven, and tied to action.

Authority Boundary

This resource provides project-risk guidance. It does not replace domain-specific security, compliance, financial, or operational risk analysis.
