I'll have to go back to the manual and have a look. I would have thought (and in fact practice) a quick check via google and other tools on typical risks specific to the company, project type and so on when I kick off would be the only sensible thing to do. I did read in the Journal of Project Management (PMI) that typicaly risk management is porly practiced, but that the impacts aren't really well understood yet. Maybe bloggers and white papers are only repeating what the academics have already investigated (people are still quoting CHAOS.) Does PRINCE2 really say that?

Wed ap LiquidPlanner enables PMs to capture that uncertainty by estimating task durations in ranges. Sophisticated analytics then reveal areas where there is a high level of uncertainty (read: risk), so project managers can focus their efforts early and maintain the health of their project.
