Editorial Note

Risk management is the process of identifying, evaluating, and prioritising risks, then deploying resources in a coordinated and cost-effective manner to reduce the likelihood and impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realized of opportunities. Uncertainty in international markets, risks from project failures, legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters, deliberate attack by an adversary, or events with unknown or unpredictable fundamental causes are all elements of risks. There are two categories of occurrences such as negative and positive. Negative events are defined as dangers, while positive events are defined as opportunities. Various organizations, such as the Project Management Institute, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, actuarial societies, and ISO standards, have developed risk management standards.

Based on whether the risk management method is used in the context of project management, security, engineering, industrial processes, financial portfolios, actuarial assessments, or public health and safety, the methods, definitions, and goals differ significantly. Avoiding the threat, lowering the threat's negative impact or probability, shifting all or part of the threat to another party, and even keeping some or all of the threat's potential or real consequences are all common threat management strategies. To respond to opportunities, the inverse of these strategies can be utilized.

The assessment method is used in optimal risk management, with the risks that cause the most loss and have the highest possibility of occurring being addressed with first. In descending order, risks having a lower probability of occurrence and a lower loss are addressed with. In practice, measuring overall risk can be challenging, and balancing mitigation efforts between risks with a high chance of occurrence but lower loss verses risks with a high loss but lower probability of occurrence is frequently mishandled. Affective risk management identifies a new form of risk that has a 100% possibility of occurring but is missed by the organization due to a lack of ability to recognize it. When insufficient knowledge is applied to a situation, for example, a knowledge risk arises. When poor collaboration happens, relationship risk occurs. When inadequate operational processes are used, process-engagement risk might arise. Knowledge workers productivity, cost-effectiveness, profitability, service, quality, reputation, brand value, and earnings quality are all harmed by these threats. Risk managers face a particular issue when it comes to opportunity cost. It's tough to know when to devote resources to risk management and when to put them to better use elsewhere. Again, optimum risk management reduces spending while also reducing risk's negative effects. Risk is defined as the possibility of an event occurring that will have a negative impact on the achievement of a goal. Recognizing that risks can be positive or negative, risk optimization entails striking a balance between negative risk and the operation's or activity's reward, as well as risk reduction and effort expended. Organizations can attain tolerable levels of residual risk by efficiently using health, safety, and environment managementstandards. Modern software development methodologies reduce risk by incrementally constructing and distributing applications. The fact that early systems only delivered software at the end of the development process limited them; any faults detected earlier in the process needed costly rework and, in many cases, jeopardised the entire project. Software projects can limit the amount of effort wasted to a single iteration by developing in iterations.
