Status Meetings
Submitted by sai_murthy on Mon, 08/02/2010 - 18:53
Question: Since you know the importance of risk management, you always include it as an agenda item in your weekly status meetings and spend ten minutes discussing the risks. Some of your project team members complain that since none of the risks are actually happening, discussing risk management issues in status meetings is a waste of time. What should you do?
- Talk to your team members about the importance of risk management and why the project team needs to be aware of all risks at all points of time.
- Agree with your team members and mention to them that henceforth, no more time would be spent on discussing risks in the project status meetings unless required in the future.
- Call a meeting with your project sponsor and project management team to discuss potential training requirements for your project team members so that they can appreciate the benefits of risk management.
- Escalate to your management that some of your team members do not agree with your risk management practices.
I choose #1, source says as #2 ??

Concur with facts & act
If you read carefully, you should make a note of "none of the risks are actually happening" line. So you (PM) have to look out for the best choice, and it makes sense of #2
Thanks.
