The AIPM is appealing for member participation in the survey “Key Issues in Project Risk Management for the next 3 – 5 Years“ to develop the profession’s knowledge of project risks – your contribution to this survey is keenly sought as without adequate responses this will not reflect the broader membership.

This survey is available online at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2010-risks

The study aims to establish the key project risk issues that project managers need to manage over the next 3 to 5 years.

 

The research is promoted and hosted by the Knowledge and Research Council of AIPM and designed by Associate Professor Dieter Fink of Edith Cowan University. The project has been approved by the university’s Human Ethics Committee.

 

A key issue is defined as one that poses a challenge (e.g. requires special attention) for the project manager during the next 3 to 5 years. The challenge can be brought about by one or more factors that will affect the success of project. For example, a risk item can be perceived to be a key issue due to the

 

  • increasing importance of the issue to the success of a project;
  • not understanding the nature of the issue due to its complexity;
  • continued difficulty in managing the issue;
  • changes expected in the nature of the issue. 

 

Pre-testing has indicated that it should take about 15-20 minutes to complete the questionnaire.  Your participation is highly appreciated.
