Risk & Change Management

Change is to be expected in today’s business environment, but there needs to be a clear process to approve or reject requests for change. Unmanaged change can bring chaos. Likewise, a project must identify and address risks (unknowns), or be forced into reactionary mode. Understanding how to handle changes and risks, and how they are related, is both an art and a science. A good project manager must have the tools necessary to identify, quantify, measure, and report on all aspects of a project, including these unknowns. This course covers not only the technical aspects of risk and change, but also the human factors. 1090003 | 1.4 CEUs | $599
