Abstract
There are many reasons for the need to effectively manage project risk and organizations like the Project Management Institute provide a good foundation on understanding this area. However, in today's global economy there has been an increase in what I will call "Structured Work". Not everyone realizes that the work they undertake can be modeled as a project, in fact, any work that we undertake will generally require resource(s), has a scope and a timeline but the mere mention of the word “Project” to some, suggests a paradigm shift thats frowned upon through fear. Since the technological advances of the 1980's, corporate complexity, the rise of globalization have all had a part to play in increasing operational challenges. Project teams no longer consist of just the project manager and the immediate team, but can consist of back office staff responsible for project administrative and accounting functions, vendors who may supply materials or services, partners and of course the customer. To add to this complexity, project teams no longer reside within the same office space, but can span multiple locations and even continents - each of these challenges can increase 'hidden' risk on a project.
