Risk Management, Not Risky Management
Most projects have a budget and schedule, yet many are delivered late and over budget. Why? The primary reason is risks become issues. Therefore, if we want to improve our project success rate, we can prioritize project risk management practices. However, the problem we face is many risk management techniques are overly complicated, with some requiring advanced statistics. The result is practitioners often neglect project risk management, leading to less-than-successful project outcomes. The key to project success is risk management, not risky management.
Dr Skulmoski presents a simple risk management framework that can immediately be used on most projects, most of the time. Greg will also share a technique to quickly develop cost and duration estimates in conditions of uncertainty, like a cybersecurity-threatened business environment with a race toward digital transformation or a transition to post-quantum cryptography. Risk management is a critical success factor outlined in Greg’s book Shields Up: A Project Management Approach to Cybersecurity (2022).
Takeaways:
- Identify high-impact risks early in the project
- Develop duration and cost estimates that are risk-informed
- Learn how to significantly reduce tail-end complexity in digital transformation and other technology projects
- Learn a new risk identification technique you can immediately use on your projects

Purpose behind Continuous Features Prioritization in Agile Projects
In a flow-based system, Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) is a prioritization technique utilized to prioritize backlog that contains features. Backlogs are continuously prioritized based on a WSJF calculation that uses relative user and business value, time criticality, risk reduction and/or opportunity enablement, and job size. WSJF also conveniently and automatically ignores sunk costs, a fundamental principle of Lean economics.
Features that can deliver the most value in the shortest duration provide the best economic return. WSJF calculation involves considering the following aspects:
• Make economic choices continuously that benefit customer outcomes and ROI
• Job sequencing based on multiple factors produces the best results compared to prioritization based on unvetted one dimensional ROI thinking
• Ignore the sunk cost
• Enable flow-based thinking (Lean thinking mindset and model)
Takeaways:
- If you only quantify one thing, quantify the cost of delay
- Decentralize decision making process at appropriate levels to enable flow
- Make economic choices continuously that benefit customer outcomes and ROI
- Job sequencing based on multiple factors produces the best results compared to prioritization based on unvetted one dimensional ROI thinking
- Ignore the sunk cost
