Project Risk Management workshop is a comprehensive and practical two-day workshop that introduces the participants to the frameworks, standards, principles, processes and application of project risk management.
Course Schedule
No courses currently scheduled. If you are interested in information on availability, contact IIE Director of Continuing Education and Program Development Larry Aft, P.E., (770) 349-1130.
Overview:
The workshop follows the project risk management principles and practices adopted by the Project Management Institute (PMBoK), ISO 31000, along with examples of public and private risk management frameworks such as those of the U.S. Navy, FAA, IBM, etc. The workshop explains the tools and techniques that will aid participants in the implementation of project risk management frameworks, principles, practices and tools. Participants will be given opportunities to apply the project tools and techniques learned to actual project risk examples. The goal for participants is to be able to minimize risks and maximize opportunities during a project’s life cycle.
The objective of this workshop is to provide an understanding of specific project risk management frameworks and their successful application. The workshop provides participants with principles, techniques and tools that will help them to address and mitigate project risks they may encounter.
Upon completion, participants will be able to lead and/or actively participate in project teams and evaluate risks in operational and supply chain projects. Participants will learn and apply project risk management frameworks, processes, techniques and tools. Participants will learn how to develop risk registers, project heat maps, project risk control templates, project risk strategies, etc.
