Oh, it’s only been about two months since I started my deep dive into Project Management. In fact, my class hasn’t even started yet. But one of the most compelling explanations of project management that I’ve read about and have read about in the Product Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) or have heard on podcasts is risk.
Risk, as a guiding and defining factor in the process of managing a project has been a very useful way to look at project project management. Something new is being worked on. That’s part of the project definition.
Even though I’m still in the beginning stages of the 5KPM - Project Management for Road Racing series of blog posts, it has become apparent that thinking about risk, and planning to address risk, is a necessary component of my planning. I mean, the book has to start somewhere, but why is risk in chapter 11 and stakeholder management in chapter 13 when they are so integral to projects?
Risks, or rather the response to perceived, planned, and actual risks informs so many of the of the project attributes. With this in mind, it was important to “address risk management proactively and consistently throughout the project.” (PMBOK® Guide p. 311) The product is the Risk Register below.

While it would have been ideal to perform quantitative and qualitative risk analysis to develop the register, the fact of the matter is that the project is small and this isn’t an ideal world. For this project I’ll do what I can in the time allotted. I’ll connect as much as I can from the PMBOK® Guide to the Closter 5k. And this register is a pretty good start.
