Course details
Without risk, there can be no reward. But if not managed properly, risk reduces your ability to achieve your project's goals and could derail it altogether. In this course, author and PMP Bob McGannon shows you how to anticipate, assess, and manage project risk, whether your project is large or small. Bob explains how the PMBOK seventh edition deals with risk and why managing risk is so critical for project success. Discover how to gauge your stakeholders' tolerance for risk, assemble a risk plan, build a risk register, and maintain project continuity as risks crop up.
