Risk Management. an Adaptation for a Sme

Abstract

The Project we are about to analyze, "Design and manufacture of eight fender davits", was a significant strategic project in 2010. It began as such at the request of a customer who manages his projects by following the guidelines of Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBok); this project's success was a milestone, since it meant the introduction of the SME into a highly competitive new market. The authors present the "adaptation" of this SME to the Project Management Institute (PMI) standards for project management, and specifically for risk management. The risk management approach undertaken is described, with the characteristic features of a SME: stages of the process, people implied with their roles and responsibilities, implemented activities, used metrics, conducted monitoring and control,...And what the results obtained have been.
