Managing Project Risk: On-Line

Warning: Managing Projects Without This Class Is Extremely Risky!

Course Overview

After many years as an exotic specialty, risk management has become an essential part of mainstream project management practice. Managing Project Risk offers a solid introduction to best practices from the field of risk management. It provides a structured process that can help you systematically identify risk for any project, and it teaches you how to determine which risks are worth pursuing. It presents both pro-active and reactive strategies for managing identified risks. Case Studies are used to show theory in action and to give participants a chance to apply key ideas.

Who Should Take This Class?

Managing Project Risk is intended for both project managers and individual team members who want to better understand and control project risk factors.
