Project Risk Management: Staying on Track When Your Plans Get Derailed



No matter how carefully you prepare and execute a project, there will inevitably be unforeseen challenges that will throw a monkey wrench into the works – or even threaten your project’s very existence.

This advanced project management course will introduce you to tools and techniques that will help you navigate the risk management of your project, one step at a time, in accordance with the principles put forward by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The goal is to help the project manager take a proactive, rather than a reactive, stance when the unexpected happens. Among the additional benefits of implementing risk management best practices are a boost in team morale, extra reassurance for various stakeholders and reduced stress for the project manager.
