There are many methods and techniques which could be used by project manager for
prevention of risk that are identified into the project management. The methods would be
enhancing the quality of planning, project and forecasting so that they could be able to use the
best practice for the prevention. The prevention of risk is very important task for the project
managers so that they could be able to accept the level of risk and maximising the chance of
getting success in all respects as well (Hornstein, 2015). For this it is very important that they are
identifying all type of hazards so that its prevention could be done by them on timely and correct
manner.
The risk management o other hand is that which is used for forecasting and evaluation of
financial risk done in identification and the process as well so that the risk could be minimised
within the project. This is a 4 stage process which starts with identification of hazard, assessing
the risk, it’s controlling and then reviewing the risk control. On the other hand risk monitoring is
that process which could be used to track all the planning terms which could be helpful in
evaluating the level of whole risk and then tracking the steps which are taking place. Monitoring
will be evaluating what went good and what did not so that further planning could be done in
effectiveness.
