	Risk Management
		Risk management is a discipline for living with the possibility that future events may cause adverse effects.
		This is not an example of Continuous Risk Management because risks are not continuously assessed and new risks are not continuously identified.
		Risk management can be used to continuously assess what can go wrong in projects (i.e., what the risks are), determine which of these risks are most important, and implement strategies to deal with these risks.

	Financial Risk Management (FRM)
		Risk management, as it is understood today, largely emerged during the early 1990s, but the term “risk management” was used long before this.
		With regard to the market risk faced by derivatives dealers, the report recommends that portfolios be marked-to-market daily, and that market risk be assessed with both value-at-risk and stress testing.
		Without risk limits, someone would have to track the risks being taken by individual traders and apply their own subjective judgment as to how much is too much.

	Risk Management Lexicon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The simulation is based on risks which are identified and quantified as probability distributions at a detailed level of the project such as the activity level of a schedule or a low-level WBS cost element.
		Risk neutrality may be defined as making decisions based on the expected value of alternative actions, such as a large company with many projects or an insurance company may do.
		Risk aversion is common, however, among organizations for which the impact of the risk is substantial (e.g., bankruptcy, loss of a prized customer) and extra contingency may be required in this case.

	Risk Management
		Risk management is a program management tool to assess and mitigate events that might adversely impact the program thereby increasing the likelihood of success.
		Risks must be well understood, and risk management approaches developed, before decision authorities can authorize a program to proceed either in state owned and operated facilities or in community settings.
		Two risk areas bearing on schedule risk are (1) the risk that the schedule estimates and objectives are realistic and reasonable and (2) the risk that program execution will fall short of the schedule objectives as a result of failure to mitigate risks.

	Risk
		Risk management is to direct and control the possibility of loss.
		The risk is the only parameter the risk manager may effectively change to control risk.
		The difficulty with this approach, is that few risk managers have a conscious model of their systems, so few can translate their actual trading systems to computer code.
