If this is your first visit to this Issacon page, then take a look at Issacons 1001 and 1002 first.

IAC1001 discusses four fundamentally different "Areas of Project Management Application" (APMA), i.e. different types of project each requiring different approaches to their management.

IAC1002 describes the structure of the "Issacon Knowledge" in terms of level in a knowledge hierarchy.

1001 (General) | 1030 (PM Guidelines) | 1060 (WBS, Planning)
1100 (Risk) | 1125 (Scope) | 1150 (PM Models) | 1175 (Quality)
1200 (PM Forms) | 1275 (Job Descriptions) | 1300 (Time) | 1325 (Cost) | 1350 (People)
1400 (Contract/Procurement) | 1430 (Info/Coms)

In this group, we are providing a comprehensive coverage of project risk management (PRM). We hope that you will find this group useful.

1100. Project Risk Management: What is Project Risk Management, and why bother?
1101. Benefits & Practices: What are the benefits and best practices of Project Risk Management?
1102. Barriers to Project Risk Management: Why is it that most people don't bother with project risk management?
1102a. Institutionalized Project Risk Management - Part A: How do we institutionalize Project Risk Management at an organizational level?
1102b. Institutionalized Project Risk Management - Part B: How do we manage Project Risk Management at an organizational level?
1103. How to Recognize Project Risks: How do I know if my project is at risk and, if so, what can I do about it?
1104. Project Risk: What is project risk?
1105. Uncertainty: What is special about project risk?
1106. Approach to Project Risk Management (PRM): How do you go about project risk management, and when?
1106a. Risk Management Simplified: How can we introduce a simplified proactive project risk management approach?
1106b. Very Simple Risk Management: Can you describe a very simple approach to risk management for a very simple project?
1107. Risk Identification & Examples: Can you provide some examples of "risk events" that we should identify or consider?
1107a. Typical Functional Area Risks: Can you describe conditions giving rise to risks according to PM knowledge areas?
1107b. Why projects fail: Can you explain why projects fail even in their formation?
1107c. Why projects fail: Can you explain why projects typically fail during their execution?
1108. EngCon Project Risks: In Issacon #1052 - Model Guideline #18 on Risk, you mentioned “Controllable” & “Uncontrollable” Risks. Can you give me examples?
1108a. Software Project Risks: Can you give me an example of special project risks in the software industry?

1110b. Qualitative Project Risk Analysis - Part 2: What do you mean by probability and severity scales, and how do I use them?
1111. Quantitative Project Risk Analysis: What is a quantitative project risk analysis, and how do I go about it?
1112a. Advanced Techniques in PRM: What advanced techniques might be applied in quantitative project risk analysis?
1112b. Sensitivity Analysis: Can you explain sensitivity analysis and how it is used?
1112c. Probability Distributions: How does risk probability affect cost and schedule values?
1112d. Variance & Standard Deviation: Please explain "variance" and "standard deviation" and what are their use?
1112e. Other Advanced PRM Techniques: What other advanced techniques might be applied in quantitative project risk analysis?
1112f. The Delphi Technique: Why conduct a Delphi Technique, and how do I do it?
1113. Project Risk Response Selection: How do I go about project risk response planning and selection?
1114.Insurable Project Risks: What sort of project risks can I insure against?
1115. Project Risk Control during Project Execution: I've developed a project risk response plan, now how do I use it?
1116. Project Risk in the Finishing Phase: Why should I worry about project risk in the finishing phase, it's all over, right?
