This course explains the project risk management process from risk planning and assumptions analysis to risk monitoring and control. The course covers the following risk management processes: risk planning, risk identification, qualitative and quantitative risk management techniques, risk response planning, and risk monitoring and control. Essential risk management tools, such as Event Breakdown Structure, Sensitivity Analysis, Risk/Opportunity Matrix, Monte-Carlo Simulation, Decision Tree Analysis, Fault and Event Trees, will be explained. Attendees will be required to participate in class exercises as well as individual and group work.

Course Outline and Description

  1. Introduction to Project Risk Management: Definitions, concepts, and applications, cause and effect diagrams, risk spectrum, individual vs global risk events, risk contingency, critical success factors affecting risk management, stakeholders’ risk attitude, risk utility theory, role of a PM in risk management (Exercise: Determine Your Risk Attitude- Are You a Project Risk Seeker?)
  2. Plan Risk Management: Risk management plan and processes, communication needs, risk templates, analytical techniques: EVM, impact scales and probability scales, risk response categories, fishbone diagram, tolerance limits, power/interest grid: stakeholders’ analysis, etc. (Case Study: Examine and Compare Different Types of Risk Management Plans).
  3. Identify Project Risks: Sources of risks, how to make a proper risk statement, information gathering techniques: SWOT analysis, brainstorming, Delphi, root cause analysis, assumptions analysis; risk breakdown structure, allocation of risks to work packages, and risk register. (Case Study: School Project Risk Identification Scenarios and Developing RBS).
  4. Perform Project Qualitative Risk Analysis: Risk probability and impact assessment, Pareto-Analysis, probability/impact risk matrix, risk re-categorization, risk data quality assessment, risk urgency assessment, update risk register. (Case Study: School Project Qualitative Risk Analysis).
  5. Perform Project Quantitative Risk Analysis: Data gathering and representation techniques, quantitative risk analysis and modeling techniques, decision tree analysis, sensitivity analysis, Monte Carlo Simulation, fault and event tree analysis. (Exercise: Expected Monetary Value Analysis and Decision Tree Analysis).
  6. Develop Project Risks and Plan Responses: Risk response strategies: avoid, mitigate, deflect, and accept, possible secondary and residual risks, other methods: insurance and bonds, privilege clauses, selecting a different project delivery strategy. 
  7. Monitoring and Control Project Risks: Main inputs, tools and  techniques, and outputs.

Unique Features 

  1. Relevant case studies to demonstrate the concepts.
  2. Carefully selected hands-on training exercises and group work for better practice.
  3. Application of a large number of risk management tools and techniques to add to your toolbox.

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the content of a Risk Management Plan.
  • Develop a risk breakdown structure, using different techniques.
  • Understand how to identify risks for inclusion in the Risk Register.
  • Use risk prioritization techniques to rank project risks.
  • Apply quantitative techniques to determine project contingency.
  • Plan Risk Responses & Monitor and Control significant risks and implement proper mitigation strategies.

Target Audience

This seminar is intended for Project Engineers, Consultants, Project Managers, Construction Managers, Safety Engineers, and other professionals involved in planning, executing, and monitoring and controlling projects to help better plan, identify, analyze, control, respond to project risks, and to estimate project contingency. Basic understanding of project management knowledge is encouraged but is not required.
