I just took a project management class and was introduced to the concept of project risk.  Let’s see how does my new project stack up in terms of risk?

• High profile project – corporate level development
• New language – switching from VB.net to C#
• New platform – switching from Windows apps to Web app
• New DB platform- switching from SQL Server to DB2

According to my project management class there are only a couple of things to be done with risk:

1. Reject Risk
2. Accept Risk
3. Transfer Risk
4. Mitigate Risk

I’m going to devote a few weeks worth of posts to dealing with these risks in a real-world project.  My first goal is to get up to speed in C#.  If you are interested in switching from VB.net to C#, watch this space.
