LinkedIn: Question: How does your organisation assess project risk?
I would like a quick poll of the complexity of risk assessments for project risk. Does your company have a project risk register with Impact and Probability listed a High/Medium/Low? Or does it attempt to financially assess the impact (ie. put it in dollar terms) and then fund a separate project risk budget/trade risk funding with the client? I see both ends of the spectrum (and everything in between) being used in my organisation and would like to put the project risk management culture on a more professional footing. Please feel free to share you experiences of assessing project risk.

We started to go down the route of financial impact and then using portfolio management techniques to look at your overall project investment. However, it is a leap for some PMs to make. Directionally I would advocate a dollar value approach, but backed up by a formal risk management training programme i.e. give the PMs the skill first, followed by the process - and then back this up with tools.
