Although there are "positive" risks, or opportunities, when it comes to projects, it's not the opportunities that wake us up at 3 in the morning in a cold sweat.It's the negative risks...the threats.But precisely because those threats are negative, people on your team may be very hesitant to bring them up.In fact, risk management is not always practiced due to "lack of time," or some organizations have a culture of "those who mention a problemarethe problem."This attitude is extremely detrimental to project success.So....what specific actions can a project manager take to create an environment that is more open to discussing risks?And what can you do to get senior management on board if they don't want to support risk management?
