Quality and risk management issues are often associated with a project during its execution phase. This is because the best laid project plans and the most foresighted schedule estimates often tend to disintegrate over the course of project life cycles. This need not be. Anticipating quality and risk issues should be essential elements of project planning, as well as areas for effective monitoring and control. This course provides the tools to deal proactively with quality and risk issues before they are manifested. Topics include:

Managing stakeholder expectations was revealed as a new knowledge area in the PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition (2012), but savvy project managers have always understood the need to focus on stakeholder interest. Stakeholders are central to all projects in all categories and levels of complexity. Projects are conceived, initiated, planned, executed, controlled and evaluated by stakeholders for stakeholders. Numerous project performance surveys consistently attribute project success or project failure primarily to stakeholder influences. This course aims to spread awareness of the importance of stakeholders on projects and provide practical guidance on how best to manage and engage them in a professional and ethical manner. This helps the project achieve its goal and objectives more effectively and efficiently, reduces risk caused by ignoring the concerns and power of project stakeholders, and seeks to attain a win-win situation for all stakeholders.
