Course Description
After many years as an exotic specialty, risk management has become an essential part of mainstream project management practice. Managing Project Risk offers a solid introduction to best practices from the field of risk management. It provides a structured process that can help you systematically identify risk for any project, and it teaches you how to determine which risks are worth pursuing. It presents both pro-active and reactive strategies for managing identified risks. Case Studies are used to show theory in action and to give participants a chance to apply key ideas.
Objectives
During this course, you will write a Statement of Scope before diving in headfirst, recognize the common pitfalls that sabotage many projects and identify project risk in a systematic, structured way. You will map risk to the phases of the project development cycle and use a risk assessment matrix to gather team input. You will evaluate risk severity and risk impact quantitatively and intervene to eliminate or mitigate risk before the project begins. You will develop contingency plans to contain remaining risks, assess your overall level of preparedness and monitor ongoing risk as the project proceeds.
After completing the Managing Project Risk course, participants will be familiar with basic risk management theory, concepts, and principles, as well as with techniques for identifying, analyzing, and managing risk.
