Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When projects start, we need a plan
To spot the risks before they land
Brainstorming sessions, minds unite
Delphi method keeps bias out of sight
SWOT analysis, strengths and threats
Checklists help so nothing's missed yet
Interviews with experts who know best
Risk identification puts us to the test

[Chorus]
Assess and manage, that's the way
AMIT-E for threats, EESHAE for opportunity's play
Avoid Mitigate Transfer Accept Escalate
Exploit Enhance Share Accept Escalate
Matrix shows probability and impact's weight
Risk register keeps our project's fate

[Verse 2]
Qualitative comes first in line
Probability impact matrix helps us define
High medium low, we rank them all
Red yellow green, which risks will fall
Then quantitative takes the stage
Monte Carlo runs through every page
Decision trees show paths ahead
Expected monetary value guides what's said

[Chorus]
Assess and manage, that's the way
AMIT-E for threats, EESHAE for opportunity's play
Avoid Mitigate Transfer Accept Escalate
Exploit Enhance Share Accept Escalate
Matrix shows probability and impact's weight
Risk register keeps our project's fate

[Bridge]
Sensitivity analysis tornado spins
Shows which variables make us lose or win
Risk owners assigned to watch and care
Triggers tell us when to be aware
Residual risks remain after response
Secondary risks from actions we announce
Appetite tolerance threshold three
Define how much risk we're willing to see

[Verse 3]
Contingency reserves for known unknowns
Management reserves when crisis zones
Risk-adjusted backlog in Agile flow
Prioritize stories based on what we know
Risk reports communicate the state
Updates help the team stay up to date

[Final Chorus]
Assess and manage, that's our call
AMIT-E for threats standing tall
Exploit Enhance Share Accept Escalate too
Opportunities we're pushing through
From identification to response complete
Risk management makes success we'll meet

[Outro]
Register updated, owners assigned
Risk management keeps peace of mind
