The course text discusses AS/NZS 4360 approach, which consists of a 5-phase process to manage and control risk. According to the text the risk management process phases are establish context, identify, establish and treat risk while continuously communicating, monitoring and reviewing risk (Cooper, 2005). The premise of risk management is to uncover and understand as much as possible about risks as early in the project as possible.
