Project risk management methodology: a case study of an electric energy organization

Abstract

This paper presents the developed risk management methodology and the main risk management results of a pilot project in a Portuguese electric energy organization – EDP Distribution. Most of the project risks identified have external and technical sources, and most of the risks are rated as medium and high level. In the future, it is expected that this methodology can be used for similar projects and that a gradual standardization on the use of the risk management methodology can be achieved in the organization.
