PMP
Speaking on the Topic:
Performing a Project Risk
Assessment
Presentation
Project risk management is a key component of project
management. The Project Management Institutes’ PMBOK defines
risk management as “…the systematic process of identifying,
analyzing, and responding to project risk…” Project risk
management is fundamentally a decision-making process that
requires a methodical approach to perform risk assessments to
enable the Project Manager to answer the question:
“How risky is my project?”
Even the most comprehensively planned
and managed project will get into some difficulty since it is a
mixture of technology, plans, processes, and people in an ever
changing environment. This coupled with the requirement for more
complex solutions being demanded by business necessitate the
need to embed risk management within all functions of the
project. It is essential that Project Managers understand the
risk factors that will affect the project of being completed on
time, within budget, and produce a quality deliverable that
successfully satisfies the customer.
This session discussed:
-
Why focus on risk.
-
Who is responsible for managing project risk.
-
Overview of the risk management process.
-
Performing a project risk assessment.
-
Budgeting for risk.
