Overview/Description
Quality management and risk management go hand in hand. Quality expectations are established at the start of a project. Any deviations from these quality expectations during product development will increase project risk. The goal is to ensure that the customer will approve the quality of the end product and at the same time minimize the risk of impact on the project budget and schedule. Good quality management and risk management will help a Project Manager achieve this goal. This course introduces the components of a PRINCE2-aligned project; Quality in a Project Environment and Management of Risk. PRINCE2 is recognised as an international standard for process-based project management. It is the standard method for project management in the UK. This course is designed to assist learners in preparation for the PRINCE2 Foundation certification exam objectives related to the Quality in a Project Environment and Management of Risk components. It covers quality management principles, quality roles and responsibilities, and the quality path. It also explorers risk management principles, the risk management cycle and tools for managing project risk.
