Overview/Description
Life is filled with uncertainties, and these uncertainties can affect our decisions and outcomes. Whenever decisions are made without prior knowledge or experience there is always a chance of risk. When dealing with projects, it is the project manager's job to assess and control risks, avert or minimize its adverse effects, and to capitalize on potential opportunities over the life of a project. In this course, the last two processes in the Project Risk Management knowledge area – Plan Risk Responses and Monitor and Control Risks – will be introduced. Specifically, the learner will be introduced to strategies for handling both negative and positive risk, and how to monitor and control these risks. This course will also cover all the necessary project documents and plans that require updates as these processes are performed. This course will assist in preparing the learner for the PMI® certification exam. This course is aligned with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Fourth Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), Inc., 2008.
