Whoever thinks there is such a thing as a risk-free project needs to

pass over that cup of optimism around and take a sip of realism

instead. Project management, as well as life, is full of risks. To

quote Baz Luhrmann:



_"The real troubles in your life_

_Are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind_

_The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday."_



No matter how well you plan something out, unforeseen events can

ambush you at any given moment. There's no fence high enough to

protect you from them, but you can learn how to be ready and tackle

them every time. The first step to learning how to do this is

recognizing the types of risks in project management and how to handle

them.



Don't be fooled into thinking one piece of content or a single project

can prepare you for the jungle that is a business world. Piles of

themed books and years of experience won't do the trick, either.

However, you have to start somewhere, and you just might pick up some

words of wisdom.



RISK ...
