Identifying risks

First, we should identify the risks. We can have workshops at the beginning of the project with all key team members and ask them to give ideas on various uncertainties in the project. However, we can’t identify all the risks at the beginning, and some can only be identified when we become more aware of them by getting closer to them. On the other hand, sometimes the environment changes and new risks are introduced. That’s why we should be continuously looking out for them. A good practice is to have a short, fixed section at the end of most meetings to explore whether new risks can be identified.
