This training serves to help participants with the understanding of project risk management according to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide. Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP®) training provides the skills to identify and measure risks in project development and implementation. You learn to quantify risks and create risk response strategies to deliver projects that meet stakeholder expectations. The Risk Management course addresses the project risk management processes of identification, analysis, response development and control.

  •     Tailor risk management activities to the needs of the project to make sure the level, type and visibility of the activities are commensurate with:

  • The type and size of the project

  • The experience of the project team

  • The perceived level of project risk

  • The importance of the project to the organization


Week-2: Read Chapter 4 of both textbooks; do the questions at the end of chapter 4

  • Identify Risks

  •     Identify and record list of threats and opportunities for the project and by work package
