Risk Management in Projects and Programs: tools & techniques

Risk regardingEvery time a problem appears in a project, we must be able to say that I anticipated this problem, that we have a plan and we can solve the problem. Time and money can be saved, avoiding stress by applying the principles of Risk -eliminating uncertainties, identifying and analyzing risk in order to increase the probability of developing opportunities and lowering the probability of threats, developing a graphic works more real by including risks.

  • Duration: 3 days , 6h of study/day
  • Methodology: presentation of theoretical concepts followed by practical examples prezentarea conceptelor teoretice urmata de exemple practice modeled with Primavera Risk Analysis tool.

  • Project managers, project planners, project engineers, end users

Benefits

  • Getting a full risk register
  • Making a real contingency budget, no empirical one
  • Getting a confidence degree in completing the project in planned time and budget planned
  • Creating a work schedule with a high degree of confidence by introducing risks and uncertainties
  • More laborious analysis of critical path by including all possible depending on the degree of confidence
  • Project managers and Project team stress reduction during project execution

What you will learn

  • What is the risk and how to identify it
