However, the process is too often taken for granted oreven dismissed as an obsession with detail. This is the real paradox in risk management.Somewhere in that detail lies the seed of the issue that will derail the project. However,there is no time to examine every issue in detail and everyone has to recognize that toomuch paranoia introduces other problems.The goal is therefore to set up a process that will systematically cover all the likelysources of risk and then complement it with a continuous review process that will identifythe most serious risks
