🔍 Risk vs Issue in Project Management: Why the Difference Matters In complex enterprise projects, one of the most commonly misunderstood concepts is the difference between a risk and an issue. While the terms are often used interchangeably, they represent very different states in the project lifecycle and require different management approaches. Understanding this distinction helps project managers protect timelines, control budgets, and strengthen project governance. 📌 Key Insights from the Blog • Risk = Potential future event that may impact scope, cost, schedule, or quality • Issue = Problem that has already occurred and requires immediate resolution • Risk management is proactive – identifying and mitigating threats before they occur • Issue management is reactive – resolving problems that are already affecting the project • Many issues originate from risks that were either unidentified or poorly mitigated ⚠️ Why This Matters in Enterprise Projects • Prevents reactive firefighting • Improves project planning and forecasting • Strengthens stakeholder reporting and transparency • Enables faster problem resolution • Increases the likelihood of successful project delivery 🛠 Best Practices for Project Managers • Maintain a risk register to track potential threats • Use an issue log to document and resolve problems quickly • Conduct risk workshops during project planning • Perform root cause analysis when issues arise • Review risks and issues regularly in project governance meetings 🚀 Bottom Line Project managers who clearly understand risk vs issue in project management can operate more strategically, anticipate disruptions earlier, and respond to challenges with greater confidence. Strong risk and issue management processes create more resilient projects and better delivery outcomes. 📖 Read the full article for a deeper dive into enterprise risk and issue management strategies.

UNPLEASANT EMOTIONAL RESPONSE (Τρικυμία) Olga Evangelidou & Konstantina katrakazou I insist on capitalizing Companionship, while for loneliness I use a lower-case “l”. And yet, loneliness is not at all lowly or mundane. Perhaps in doing so I cast it out, this heinous circumstance. But then again isn’t companionship also an illness? And what if these two words are not antonyms of each other? What if the two ideas don’t have – or need – antonyms at all? They stand alone because they are absolute. Like tongues that lick, like chains that clench. Unpleasant emotional response (Τρικυμία) was presented in the context of the publication of the fourth issue of Asthenia zine at 11/11/2016 at Enterprise Projects.
