In this seminar, you will learn a whole-system approach and process for identifying, analyzing, monitoring, and controlling risk. We will show you the tools, techniques and templates for dealing with various types of risks. Students will evaluate project risks using real-world case studies and effective risk identification techniques. Templates will be yours to keep and will provide your organization with a repeatable foundation for rapid and efficient risk management tracking capability.
