why risk matters risk and
Conscious Competence
mitigating risk
why risk matters
what is risk?
what drives risk?
Project Management
• Change Managementhow does risk change during a project?
what happens if we ignore risks?
I’m beginning to think it wasn’t such a good idea to turn off those
unit tests
what happens if we incorrectly define risks?
at what levels should we assess risk?
how is risk management different from change management?

products for the SMB market. • The goal: make these products consumable by
the SMB market.
what are the delivery risks?
what are the business case risks?
what are the collateral damage risks?
what tool can we use to improve
our ability to profile risk?

using the business value model to reduce

uncertainty
Purpose

Costs and Benefits
Business Value Model
This models iterative decisions.
It helps us identify the “lastresponsible moment” to make decisions.
what project phases deliver value while reducing uncertainty?
what decisions should be deferred until the last responsible moment?
how can we reduce the tendency towards complexity and further reduce risks?

collaborate broadly to maintain awareness
Scenario• In order to respond to a competitor, Product
Management announces an early release.• In order to meet the release date, Development
shrinks the time allocated to the quality plan.• Technical Sales now requires a SAR and a service
engagement.• The product releases but Support is not prepared
for the required support levels.• Support shifts some support tasks to Development.• Development no longer has the resources to meet
the next planned release date or content.
in other words . . .
there are no isolated decisions!
who is this broader team?
what triggers should cause us to review and revise the risk profile and mitigation plan?
what tools can we use to maintain this broad awareness and communicate changes?
