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!
Humans are constantly weighing the costs and benefits of decisions, but how do you know what a risk is? Or what a risk looks like?
Within a school environment you will be communicating with a variety of different groups, most importantly students and their teachers.
There is the need to write in any project you do. What needs to be written, and how much of your time it takes will be different for everyone, but most scientists will underestimate how much of their time will be spent writing.
Communications can present the greatest risks to a project, as such, most funding organisations will require you to create a communications plan with your project.
It is important to have key messages for your research ready to go so that you can effectively communicate your work in a way that it is easy for most people to understand.
Being a scientist is one of the most rewarding careers. You will work on solutions to problems with real world application and impact.
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.
In everyday life, work, and science projects, people generally don’t like to talk about risk. There is a perception that talking about risk will stop something from happening (e.g. a project).
