The PRINCE2 Risk Management (M_o_R® 4) guidance shows you how the principles, processes, and techniques can be embedded, reviewed, and applied to your work practices by considering the nature of the objectives at risk.
Risk is defined, in M_o_R® 4, as: an uncertain event or set of events that, should it occur, will have an effect on the achievement of objectives.
- All decisions within organisations, at strategic, portfolio, programme, project, product, and operational levels, are made in the context of risk.
- When faced with alternative options of how to progress to achieve objectives, decision-makers need to find ways of considering what is known and what is yet uncertain and how it would have an impact on objectives should the uncertainty become a reality.
M_o_R® 4 delivers modern, engaging content that offers clear and practical, best practice guidance that is relevant across regions and sectors, allowing you to make informed, effective decisions about the use of resources and initiate change.
