In almost every industry, projects are becoming more complex by the day.
As new technologies emerge and geopolitical shifts impact the trajectory of project planning, organizations are increasingly challenged by new risk types and problems that require greater visibility and consolidation of risk management strategies.
All projects, no matter how meticulously planned, are exposed to the effects of risk. While you may not be able to predict the future with total certainty, there is a framework you can build to mollify any nasty surprises you might face during a project.
Risk management is an integral aspect of project planning. By identifying and analyzing potential shortfalls, project managers can mitigate risks while continuing their project processes full steam ahead.
Risk management software is pivotal to successful project management. However, despite its importance, it can be years before organizations consider upgrading.

With an ever-increasing number of rail passenger journeys in the UK, leading to constant calls for new railway lines, the rail manufacturing industry is booming.

Practised by thousands of individuals across the world, project scheduling is perhaps the most common discipline of project planning and control. Every project in every industry is managed according to a schedule, regardless of size or scale, and the use of scheduling software has become a staple ingredient of project planning. With such significance placed upon scheduling activities, you'd be forgiven for thinking that projects are well-planned and successfully-executed, but research tells us that projects often, even usually, overrun their schedules by some margin.
