Proactively identifying and controlling risk greatly increases the accuracy of the project’s scope, schedule, and budget, as well as reduces the amount of time the team spends putting out fires. This 2-day course, based on PMI®’s PMBOK® Guide, Sixth Edition, focuses on improving the project manager’s risk management expertise, from initial planning through project closure. Participants apply all course principles to a real-world case study of their choosing.
