Who should attend?
  • The Practicing Program Manager who runs projects and desires to become more efficient at managing project risks.
  • The PM who is managing complex technical projects where the overall complexity creates risks that need to be understood to mitigate the impacts.
  • The Project Manager will gain the confidence and understanding of Project Risks, identification methods of these risks, and the effects on the life cycle of their projects by these risks
Overview

This course will assist the Practicing Project Manager understand and utilize the processes contained in the PMBOK© to become more effective in the managing of project risks and minimizing their impact on the successful outcome of the project.

The workshop will take the theoretical and practical information contained in the PMBOK©, the practical of real life examples of risks encountered in actual projects, to develop an understanding that will increase the overall knowledge of the Project Manager. By using a real life project as the workshop test case it will allow the attendees to work collectively to identify the Risk items and to develop usable mitigation plans that could be utilized to minimize the impact of the identified risk.

The workshop will take the Risk Management processes as identified in the PMBOK® and dissect it into PMBOK Process groups: Risk Management planning, Risk Identification, Risk Analysis, Risk Response planning, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis, Risk Monitoring and Control processes. In addition the tools that will assist the Project Manager in ensuring the project risks are mitigated or exploited to increase the success of the overall project will be discussed.

This workshop will take an actual real-life project that would be encountered in a common Telecommunications Network Infrastructure deployment project as the class case study. By utilizing a case study it will allow the workshop attendees to use their understanding of the presented materials as well as input from the other attendees to analyze the impacts and to develop a risk mitigation plan for the identified risks.
