Target Audience:

Current and aspiring project managers, sub-team leaders, and team members. Project clients, sponsors, and other stakeholders may also benefit.

Participants will learn how to:

• Monitor risk throughout the project
• Employ a project risk management strategy that acknowledges and manages uncertainty and potential problems
• Lead the project team through a systematic process of identifying risks in the areas of project management, deliverables, business and external factors
• Express risk probability and impact both qualitatively and numerically
• Prepare preventive, mitigating, and contingency plans
• Monitor risk throughout the project

Seminar highlights:

Virtually every project encounters unplanned events and as a result, suffers some impact to scope, time or resources. Occasionally, the impact may be favourable, but typically it is negative.

To a large extent, this negative impact and even the events themselves can be influenced through proactive risk management. Today, many organizations are recognizing the wisdom of taking off the "rose-colored glasses" and increasing the likelihood of project success by removing the "un"s from the unexpected.

This course provides participants with a practical approach to managing risks:

• Risk Management Planning
• Risk identification
• Qualitative Risk Analysis
• Quantitative Risk Analysis
• Risk response planning
• Risk monitoring and control

Participants learn practical techniques for each of these elements. Both qualitative and numerical methods for assessing the potential value of each risk are presented. The instructor, experienced in risk Management, provides examples and facilitates practical application exercises. Throughout the course the role of the Project Manager in the risk management process is examined.
