Project Risk Management

Project management is opportunity management and it is the ability to seize opportunities but minimise surprises that can achieve optimum results. Risk management is a proactive tool to do this and get the best results for any project by having the ability to capitalise on managing uncertainty. In this Project Risk Management course, you will work through:
  • the proactive approach to managing uncertainty - based on a clear understanding of the powerful nature of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk management.
  • the proactive approach to distinguish between risks and issues – based on a clear understanding of project performance reporting
  • the reactive approach to handling issues and project surprises – based on a clear understanding of defining and managing crisis situations
Project Risk Management gives you the foundation, experience, techniques and tools to manage the various aspects of project risk, project issues and project crisis. This is a course that is based on application with hands-on exercises and a broad array of practical experiences that can immediately be applied to your job.
