Risk Management for Projects

Project risk management is a process used for the identification, assessment and analysis of potential risks to an organisation or project. This process enables you to develop the most appropriate risk response, and develop a project contingency plan if required.

What will you learn?

In the Risk Management for Projects course, you will learn the fundamentals of risk management, as well as how to undertake a project risk assessment in a project-based setting.

In this course, you will further upskill through the application of the risk management canvas, which is a framework that enables you to manage risk within your own environment. It will immerse you in the concepts of risk management and help you to apply the key processes.
