Over the course of the last three decades agile project management has by far become the preferred approach to project management being employed by today’s organisations. The online and fast paced nature of today's market place has meant that organisations need to be able to deliver their projects much quicker and in shorter time frames then in previous times. A new way of working has meant that existing areas of project management have needed to evolve to align with this new way of working. One such area is that of risk management. Risk management plays an integral role in the success both of a project and the organisation itself. This manuscript aims to review how risk management can be performed within an agile project management framework.
