Description:

In a perfect world, decisions would be made with complete certainty--all necessary information would be accurate and available as needed to ensure total success. In the real world, however, this is seldom the case. Real life is fraught with uncertainties; knowledge of events or conditions that may or may not occur is imperfect and incomplete, and this uncertainty affects decisions and outcomes. Risk occurs when decisions are made without perfect knowledge--in other words, nearly all the time. It is the project manager's job to assess and control risk, to avert or minimize its adverse effects, and to capitalize on its positive effects. In this course, the project manager will learn when and how to plan for risks and how to identify risks proactively and at the time they occur. This course is aligned with "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK® Guide) - Third Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), Inc., 2004.
