Course Overview All projects involve some degree of risk. A thorough risk analysis at the onset of a project, and throughout the project life cycle, is essential to identify, quantify and manage risks. In this course, you develop strategies to analyse the risks in project development and implementation. You learn to quantify risks and create effective risk response strategies to deliver projects that meet stakeholder expectations. You also take away tools and templates for use back at your office. Audience This course is valuable for anyone who has a stake in seeing a project through to its successful completion. Experience at the level of Course 296, " Project Management: Skills for Success ", or Course 340, " Project Management for Software Development ", is strongly recommended. Skills Gained - Manage project risk effectively to deliver successful projects that meet stakeholder needs
- Apply customisable, industry-robust templates to create a Risk Management Plan and Risk Register
- Leverage a proven 7-step qualitative risk analysis process to identify risk exposure
- Translate risk into actual time and cost impact using proven quantitative risk analysis tools
- Utilise a tested 7-step technique to design your risk response strategies
- Monitor risk triggers to control uncertainties and maximise project payoff
