What is KnowRisk?
KnowRisk® is a product family of Project Risk Management tools, developed and offered by ProjectExperts. KnowRisk is oriented specifically to Project Risk, and should not be confused with organizational Risk management tools.

We've based KnowRisk on our Project Risk Assessment and evaluation experience, a service in our Project Management consulting practices. With KnowRisk, you can identify project Risks that you might otherwise overlook, then evaluate, select and implement recommended Risk Management options.

Ways to KnowRisk
KnowRisk Lite IT is our original Microsoft Excel-based version of KnowRisk, with special Response and Strategy recommendations for the risks that are unique to Information Technology Projects.

Risk Management Insight
The primary purpose of Risk assessment is to improve communication among those who should manage the 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.

Part of our Facilitated RIP Sessions
The KnowRisk process has been available since 1988 through our Rapid Initial Planning® (RIP) consulting services. In a RIP session, we work with Project Executives, Customers, Managers and key team members to produce all or most (depending on the session objectives) of a complete PM Plan. For example, our RIP Initiation produces early estimates, Risk assessment, Initiative Staging, with Initial Schedules and Costs, and a preliminary PM Plan.

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