Risk workshops. We learn about them in PMP® courses. We see them discussed in books. Their practicality sounds right. But too often, this vital step in the project management process gets skipped as we struggle to keep up with everything else required to run our projects.
The truth is, project managers don’t fail because they lack technical skills — they fail because they aren’t prepared for the uncertainties that derail projects. Risk workshops are one of the most effective tools for shifting from reactive to proactive project management, yet many teams either skip them entirely or don’t know where to start.
