Project Risk Assessment
A practical programme in project risk assessment, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to project risk assessment in the context of project scope, delivery and uncertainty. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on risk identification, priorities and response plans. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of risk identification and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine priorities and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to response plans.
- Prepare a delivery recommendation with milestones and risk responses for discussion with a project delivery team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.
Who Can Benefit
- Project managers and coordinators: apply risk identification to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
- Planning and project-control teams: apply priorities to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
- Project sponsors and delivery leads: apply response plans to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
