Quick Enrol

You Will Learn How To

  • Manage project risk effectively to deliver successful projects that meet stakeholder needs
  • Apply customizable, industry-robust templates to create a Risk Management Plan and Risk Register
  • Leverage a proven 7-step qualitative risk analysis process to identify risk exposure
  • Translate risk into actual time and cost impact using proven quantitative risk analysis tools
  • Utilize a tested 7-step technique to design your risk response strategies
  • Monitor risk triggers to control uncertainties and maximize project payoff

Course Benefits

All projects involve risk. To quantify and manage risks, you need to thoroughly analyze risk before and during a project. This course provides the skills to help you prepare for the PMI-RMP® exam. Through identifying and measuring risks in project development and implementation, you learn to quantify risks and create risk response strategies to deliver projects that meet stakeholder expectations.

Who Should Attend

Those with a stake in seeing a project through to successful completion as well as those who plan to take the PMI-RMP® exam. Experience at the level of Course 296, "Project Management: Skills for Success," or Course 340, "Project Management for Software Development," is recommended.

RealityPlus™

In this course, you are immersed in a PC- and video-enhanced case study to simulate a project risk experience from planning to project close. You perform risk management tasks including:
  • Creating your RMP from a proven model
  • Developing and updating a Risk Register through a systematic incremental process
  • Applying a 7-step qualitative risk analysis process to determine probability, impactand exposure
  • Quantifying risks according to EMV, Utility and impact on estimates
  • Designing a risk response strategy
  • Detecting and responding to risk eventsusing EVA
  • Updating your risk database and determiningprocess improvements

"I've taken several courses at Learning Tree over the years because once I had experienced the level of instruction and the variety of courses they offered, it was an easy decision from then on. What I like is that the instructors offer real-world examples, not just examples from the textbook, and they always point out what aspects they applied in their own work."
