How Do You Identify Risks Before They Become Problems? by Manishsterling(op): 10:51am On Jun 18
Many teams only start discussing risks after something has already gone wrong. In my experience, the most useful approach is to ask three simple questions at the beginning of any project:

What could stop us from meeting the deadline?
What could increase the cost?
What could affect the quality of the outcome?

Some common risks I see are:

Requirements changing midway through a project
Dependency on a single vendor or team member
Lack of communication between stakeholders
Unrealistic timelines
Missing documentation

A simple habit that helps is maintaining a list of risks and reviewing it once a week. Even a basic spreadsheet can be enough. The goal is not to predict everything but to identify potential issues early and prepare a response before they become major problems.

I recently came across a discussion from SterlingNext about structured risk assessment, and it reminded me that many organizations still treat risk management as a one-time activity instead of an ongoing process.

How does your team identify and track risks? Do you use a formal framework, a risk register, or just discuss risks during project meetings?
