Course Overview:
This seminar focuses on the uncertainty that surrounds any project. Project Risk Management is designed to have the participant learn core project risk management concepts and best practices, and learn tools that are used to proactively manage project risk. During the course, “best practices” will be introduced, and put into context through various exercises and scenarios and case studies.
