Risk management is what you do when a ‘risk’ becomes an ‘issue’, which puts you in the situation where you have to work out how you are going to manage this issue to keep the project on track.

A proposal is usually used for requesting funding to do research.

The first step in project risk planning and management is identifying what the potential positive and negative risks are for your project and capturing these in the risk register.

Being a scientist is one of the most rewarding careers. You will work on solutions to problems with real world application and impact.

It can be difficult to identify risks and the impact they might have on your project because you don’t know what you don’t know!

Projects are defined by three main constraints – time, cost and quality. Managing the budget is part of the third stage of project management documentation to mitigate project risks.

There is truth behind the saying, “a picture tells a thousand words”, because humans interpret images better than written words.
