PROJECT RISK MANAGEMENT

An effective project management plan maximizes value within established cost and time allowances. While typical components of project management-scope management, change management, cost/schedule controls- are effective individually, a continuous, integrated risk management process is essential for successful project execution.

MCG risk management specialists identify and evaluate project risks, manage risk register manage risk registers, facilitate, and develop qualitative risk assessments, conduct quantitative risk analyses, and develop risk mitigation strategies and plans in conjunction with project stakeholders. We then integrate those assessments into robust, quantitative cost and schedule risk analyses and monitor and mitigate any risks accordingly before an issue occurs.

PROJECT CONTROLS

Project complexity, organization maturity, team experience, cost, project importance, and other factors determine the level of control needed. Excessive control can cause project costs to spiral upward and divert resources from more important tasks that can lead to delays, errors, political repercussions, and lower-than-expected project quality.

Project controls is a MCG core competency, and our firm is an established leader in cost and schedule controls. MCG has maintained this leadership by actively participating in trade organizations-such as Project Management Institute (PMI) and AACE International-that advance knowledge of project controls; and by supporting staff efforts to secure appropriate credentials.
