Risk management is the identification, evaluation, and prioritisation of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimise, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate events or to maximise the realisation of opportunities.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

1. Project workers

2. project managers

3. risk officers

4. management students seeking or not PMI certification

SYNOPSIS

In the Planning Risk Management section of this program on the project risk management knowledge area, we're going to learn about how to plan for risks on a project to make sure that when negative things do happen, we're ready for them.

The Identifying Risk covers the inputs you need to look at in order to identify risks; and how to use several techniques, such as Data Analysis methods, like SWOT Analysis, and Assumption, and Constraint Analysis, to help you develop an effective risk register.

In the Analysing Risk section, we'll examine the two risk analysis processes of the project risk management knowledge area, namely, perform qualitative risk analysis and perform quantitative risk analysis.

The Responding to Risk covers the final three processes in the project risk management knowledge area. Plan risk responses, implement risk responses and monitor risks. You'll learn about some common risk response strategies and how to monitor and control risks as they occur.
