The aim of the current research is to examine publicly available project risk registers to find correlations between the project management theory, especially project risk management, and practical results of real project risk management – the risk registers publicly available on the Internet. In the research, the author has analysed the compliance between the theories of the project risk management described in the “Aid Delivery Methods. Volume I. Project Cycle Management Guidelines” and “Caltrans Project Risk Management Handbook, Threats and Opportunities, Second Edition, Revision 0” and the project risk registers. In the previous studies, the author concluded that after analysing just 30 risk registers significant differences could be found between the risk register described in the theory and risk registers of real projects. The results of the theoretical analysis of the notion “risk” provide information for deeper analysis of the risk registers publicly available on the Internet.References
