Course Information

Course Name
Risk Management

Duration
5 Days
Overview
The workshop content focuses on how to risk-plan projects within the client’s contexts. Emphasis is on identifying potential project problems and issues, rank the risks, risk responses, study impact of risks and using computerised Monte Carlo Simulation – sensitivity analysis and tornado charting), evaluate risk response feasibilities, and track/control risk response implementations.
Participants are encouraged to bring their projects to the session. Project Risk Management checklists, templates, and Palisade @Risk for MS Project are used to model a participant’s project. Ample case studies, examples and interactive individual/group exercises are provided.
*This is the rate for group classes, charged per session.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Instil the habit of anticipation with regard to identifying possible project problems, uncertainties,
and contingencies. - Use techniques like Brainstorming, Affinity Technique, Cause-Effect, Why-Why, and Monte Carlo
Computer Simulation. - Produce a Risk Management Register which itemises and assesses the risks, risk triggers, risk
responses, and response implementations toward the risks. - Have understanding of risk-managing projects, the various risk priority-ranking techniques, including the use of project management software (Microsoft Project and @Risk) to visualize and apply the findings immediately in their work.
- Have a ready set of working risk management templates.
Course Outline
- Principles of project uncertainties.
- Definition and characteristics of “risk”.
- Variation of risk within the project management lifecycle.
- Elements and factors of risk.
- Types of risk – external, cost, schedule, technology, operation risks, etc.
- Components of risk management.
- Using the Risk Management Mindmap.
- Risk Management Planning.
- The Project Risk Management Plan (using a risk management plan template).
- The Risk Register (using a risk register template).
- Risk Identification.
- Activity: Work Breakdown Structure.
- Activity: Risk identification by Brainstorming.
- Activity: Categorizing identified risks using Affinity Diagramming.

- Activity: Monte Carlo Simulation and Sensitivity Analysis using @Risk software
- Risk Trigger (determining when the risk occurs).
- Monitoring high profile risks – risk watch list.
- Risk Response Planning
- Activity: Applying risk strategies –avoidance, mitigation, deflection, and acceptance.
- Establishing reserves.
- Risk response control.
- Execute risk strategies.
- Contingency plans and workarounds.
- Risk re-assessment.
