PJM116 - Project Risk Management
Course Overview
Project managers need to understand the many aspects of risk assessment and planning prior to completion of the project plan and then learn the tools and techniques to monitor and appropriately manage changes. This course examines risk monitoring as the plan is executed, the project manager’s efforts in establishing an approach to risk, and suitable responses consistent with the risk tolerance level of the stakeholders.
One emphasis of this course looks at risks from the positive viewpoint of maximizing the benefits of acceptable outcomes rather than only looking to reduce negative impacts. The course includes lecture, practical hands-on sessions, case study, and individual and small group exercises.
This course addresses the needs of project sponsors and project managers at all levels in understanding their role in risk management.
