  • 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. Aligned with the PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® certification, this course provides the skills to identify and measure 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

Project managers, directors, sponsors and anyone who has a stake in seeing a project through to its successful completion. Experience at the level of Course 296, "Project Management: Skills for Success," or Course 340, "Project Management for Software Development," is strongly recommended.


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, impact and exposure
  • Quantifying risks according to EMV, Utility and impact on estimates
  • Designing a risk response strategy
  • Detecting and responding to risk events using EVA
  • Justifying budget and time contingencies
  • Updating your risk database and determining process improvements
