Course Objectives
Project Risk Management aims to provide participants with the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage risk within a project to avoid adverse effects on project outcomes. It covers identifying, analysing, establishing risk treatments and controls, monitoring and controlling project risks, and assessing risk management outcomes.
The course will provide participants with the tools and techniques to identify, analyse, establish, manage and control project risks more effectively in order to give more certainty to the project sponsor and stakeholders.
This one day (1) course is aligned to the knowledge area of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide Fifth Edition and links risk management to the five key project management processes required for all projects: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring & controlling, and closing.
