Site problems Risk Monitoring Risk monitoring is the process that systematically tracks and evaluates the performance of risk handling actions against established cost, performance, schedule, and risk metrics throughout the acquisition process. This permits an evaluation of actual versus planned progress in reducing risks to an acceptable level in accordance with the implemented risk handling plan activities, budgets, schedules, resources, testing and so on. The indicator system should be designed to provide early warning of potential problems to allow for management actions. Risk monitoring also provides information to update risk handling strategies, risk analysis, risk identification, and risk planning as warranted through continuous feedback to the other risk management process steps. Risk monitoring is not a problem-solving technique, but rather, a proactive technique to observe the results of risk handling and the ability to identify new risks.
