Paper presented at African Rhythm Project Management Conference 22 24 April 2002, Johannesburg, South Africa Hosted by: Project Management Institute of South Africa (PMISA): ISBN Number: 0-620-28853-1 RISK Management FOR Dummies A CASE Study Marie-Louise Barry Project Manager radar , CSIR, Defencetek, P O Box 392, Pretoria, 0001, INTRODUCTION The first question that someone uninitiated in the joys of project Management might ask is, "What is risk Management and why is it required on projects?" The major task of any project manager is to ensure that a project finishes within the original budget, with the required scope of work and within the required timescales, and to ensure that throughout this process all the stakeholders, especially the client, are satisfied with the project results.

The project of this case study is the development of an experimental Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) currently in process at Defencetek. Due to the prohibitive costs of test flights, the synthetic aperture is obtained by operating the radar on a rail on Defencetek's roof. The project has been running at Defencetek over a number of years.
