About Dr Cooper's chapter, Project, Programme and Portfolio Risk Management

Why is project, programme and portfolio risk management important?

Project risk management has been around for a long time and there are well-established processes for doing it. Despite this, projects ‘go wrong’, and sometimes they fail spectacularly. They either don't deliver the value they were intended to provide, they cost more than expected or they take longer than planned.

Risk management can’t substitute for poor project management, but good risk management can go some way to identifying and managing opportunities for generating better project outcomes and avoiding major failures.

Good risk management becomes even more important, and more useful, as projects become larger or more complex and as projects are grouped into programmes and portfolios that must be managed in a coordinated manner.

What's new?

This chapter has been revised since the first edition, to reflect changes in international standards, particularly IEC 62198, Managing risk in projects – Application guidelines, ISO 31000, Risk management – Guidance, and ISO 21500, Project, programme and portfolio management – Context and concepts.

It also refers to new or updated material from the Project Management Institute (PMI) on project, programme and portfolio management and agile project management.
