After the Risks were finalized and reviewed/approved
by the Project Control Manager and the Project Manag-
er, Phase 3 started with Risks Review and Control, where
the actions and controlled measures for the risks were dis-
cussed in weekly progress meetings, focusing mainly on
the risks with high P-I score.
A few months later, when almost 25% of the progress of
the project had been achieved, it was decided to proceed
with the Post Response Assessment and re-evaluation of
the Status of the Risks. To the satisfaction of all, most P-I
scores of the identified Risks had dropped significantly
after reassessment.
During implementation of the Risk Management Proc-
ess in ASCS project all the
data was continually
