This course provides comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the following topics:
- Plan Risk Management: In this lecture, students will learn how to create a Risk Management Plan, a key component of the project management plan. They will understand how to document the approach to risk management, roles and responsibilities, risk categories, and the methodology to be used for risk assessment and response planning.
- Identify Risks: This lecture focuses on the process of risk identification. Students will learn techniques for identifying potential risks, such as expert judgment, documentation reviews, and information gathering. They will understand the importance of creating and maintaining a Risk Register to capture all identified risks.
- Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis: Students will delve into the qualitative assessment of risks. They will learn how to prioritize risks by assessing their impact and probability using techniques like the risk probability and impact matrix. The lecture will cover how to use the results to prioritize risks for further analysis.
- Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis: This lecture explores the quantitative assessment of risks. Students will learn how to assign numerical values to risk factors and use tools like Monte Carlo simulations to quantitatively analyze risks. They will also understand how to assess the potential impact on project objectives.
- Plan Risk Responses: Students will learn how to develop risk response strategies for the identified risks. They will understand how to create a Risk Response Plan that outlines specific actions to address each risk, such as risk avoidance, risk mitigation, risk transfer, or risk acceptance.
- Implement Risk Responses: Building on risk response planning, this lecture covers the implementation of risk response strategies. Students will learn how to execute the planned risk responses and take necessary actions to manage risks as they unfold during the project.
- Monitor Risks: In the final lecture, students will explore the ongoing process of monitoring and controlling risks. They will learn how to track identified risks, assess the effectiveness of risk responses, and update the Risk Register as necessary. This continuous monitoring ensures that project risks are effectively managed throughout the project’s lifecycle.
