Overview
Risk can be defined as uncertainty of outcome; some amount of risk taking is inevitable if the project is to achieve its objectives. In these uncertain times, there will be added risk to any new project.
During the delivery of any major project, risk is a major factor to be considered. Projects by nature are complex, often expensive and timebound undertakings.
This virtual Effective Project Risk Management course examines the project lifecycle and the overlay of the risk management cycle. It will show clearly how good risk management should be applied, some of the pitfalls and how to avoid them. Mixed in with the risk management theory, the course provides practical hints and tips on the ways to manage inherent risk and the benefits of the keeping tight control to de-risk your projects.
Through a blended mixture of learning containing straight forward delivery, practical exercises, return to your place of work with greater confidence in your ability to achieve successful project delivery.
