Course Description:
The presentation will focus on the application of risk management techniques to effectively manage schedule risks that often plague projects. The presentation will explore the relationship between the PMBOK and ISACA’s Risk IT Framework. The presentation will focus specifically on two aspects of the Risk IT framework; risk evaluation and risk response. The concept of risk scenarios is one technique that will be presented in detail and include one or more workshop exercises. Risk scenarios include threats, events, assets / resources, and time components.

What You Will Learn:
Upon completion of the presentation, attendees will be able to construct risk scenarios that frequently plague projects. The audience will gain practical experience preparing risk scenarios and the associated risk treatment plans. Attendees will learn how to identify risks early in the project lifecycle so that they can be managed early to minimize the impact on subsequent lifecycle phases. The audience will also learn valuable tools and techniques that can be utilized for practical risk management.

Why You Should Attend:

Format:
The format will be a workshop style format with two practical exercises to reinforce tools, techniques, and processes presented in the course. The course also utilizes actual risk information collected from a variety of sources to illustrate key risk management concepts.
