Risk is all around us and nowhere more so than in a project where a unique endeavour is being undertaken. Identifying and managing risk is critical to project success.

This course gives participants practical skills in risk management for projects. It teaches techniques for risk identification and assessment and then goes on to explore the various options for risk response and mitigation.  In addition to the reduction of threats to a project we also look at techniques for maximizing opportunities. Participants will learn how to construct a risk management plan that tracks threats and opportunities through to benefits realization well beyond the lifecycle of the project.
