Project Risk Management
This two day course covers the principles of project risk management. “Risk” is a set of
unknowns that may include both threats and opportunities. The successful project manager should know
how to anticipate and respond effectively to both positive and negative risks.
After establishing some common “Project Management” ground, this course will take participants through
the six step risk management process: Risk Management Planning; Risk Identification; Qualitative Risk
Management; Quantitative Risk Management; Risk Response Planning, and Risk Monitoring & Control. The
course employs the Project Management Institute’s (PMI®) terminology and covers processes & knowledge
areas that are consistent with “A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide®).”
Course instruction will be supplemented with real-world examples, team exercises and case studies to
demonstrate risk evaluation techniques, contingency plan development, and risk response strategies.
Audience
Project managers, program managers, executive sponsors, project leaders, key stakeholders
and critical project team members who wish to learn proven techniques for anticipating and managing
uncertainty throughout the project life cycle. These principles can be applied to projects in any
industry or functional area.

of knowledge and experience. If a participant does not demonstrate these, the instructor will take
the necessary steps either to prepare the participant or place him/her in a more appropriate course.
