RISK MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT: YOUR GUIDEBOOK TO SUCCESS 4
Just as risk management is a critical function in a business,
it's also one of the most important factors in a successful
project implementation.
The practice of risk and issue management starts during project
inception. Once you've recorded the issue/risk, it's important to evaluate
the potential impact and apply mitigation strategies. That means
discovering what needs to happen to gain buy-in from end users who
are happy with the current system. Keep revisiting the issue until you've
eliminated that risk. Many project managers also have risk logs, which
are valuable tools for all team members to reference frequently as a
resource that enhances collaboration.
ADDRESS RISK AND ISSUE MANAGEMENT WITHIN
THE PROJECT ITSELF
How do we know exactly what should be communicated? A good place
to start is getting knowledge and understanding of exactly who your
stakeholders are and how and when it's most effective to communicate
with them.
At project kickoffs, our Professional Services team develops a formal
communication plan. We base this plan on a detailed stakeholder analysis
that we perform together with the client team during the planning phase.
We make sure the plan reflects the level of detail required by each
shareholder or group.
