Most teams handle risk reactively — something breaks, then they scramble. This session flips that: a proactive, systemic approach to spotting risk before it becomes an impediment, and resolving impediments at the root instead of just unblocking the symptom.

We’ll cover risk identification techniques, how to distinguish a one-off blocker from a systemic impediment, and how to build a lightweight risk register that a team will actually maintain.
