What is KnowRisk IT?
KnowRisk® IT is our original Information Technology version of KnowRisk. Originally developed to support our Risk Assessment and Rapid Initial Planning facilitated sessions, we made it available as a product for our consulting, training and methodology customers.

While not as universal as our KnowRisk Pro product, it is very useful for Information Technology projects, because it provides IT-specific Risk Checklist items, plus our "Consultant In A Box" Risk Responses and range of additional Risk Management strategies help to manage residual Risk.

Why KnowRisk?
The primary purpose of Risk assessment is to improve communication among those who should manage project Risks. Some Risks are within the project manager's control, but are not identified soon enough to avoid them. Some are out of the immediate team's control, but well within the control of customers or managers.

The KnowRisk IT process brings together team members and managers to discuss project Risks.

You identify the impact of those Risks, if left unmanaged. You discuss our recommended ways to can manage the Risks, to reduce their impact on your project.

Then you commit to Risk avoidance, containment and management methods. If you want to significantly reduce the Risks in your project, KnowRisk supports that Risk reduction. KnowRisk is great for Project Offices or Project Management Offices, too!

Part of our Facilitated RIP Sessions
KnowRisk has been available for years through our Rapid Initial Planning® (RIP) consulting service. In a RIP session, we work with customers and Information Technology managers and key team members to produce a complete project deliverable. For example, our RIP Initiation produces early estimates, Risk assessment, and a preliminary project plan.

Responding to customer requests, KnowRisk IT is now available as a stand-alone product or service. Whether you license KnowRisk IT for your own project, administer it through your Project Management Office, or integrate it into your repeatable processes, you'll be more comfortable, and more effective when you KnowRisk.
