Risks exist on projects because by definition, projects possess uncertainty. Organizations that ignore risks experience reduced project success rates due to the wasted effort and delays that result from dealing with issues.

Risk management methodologies address this challenge but tend to be too theoretical or require significant process discipline or historical data to be practical.

During this webinar you will learn practical, lightweight best practices for managing risks throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Benefits of managing risks through this approach include:

• Improved project predictability
• Improved ROI for your overall portfolio
• Quantification of cost & schedule contingencies
• Reduced effort spent resolving project issues

Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers

Ask SMEs (subject matter experts), your boss or client about what could be the most important part of the content. And the answer? Usually, “EVERYHING.

Topics Ray will cover:

• The case of 2,000 PowerPoint library of presentations – what to do with it?
• Help SMEs break content down into “must learn now” and “learn later”
• Benefits of chunked and boiled-down content in rapid development,
  • deployment of programs,
  • frequency and positive overall results,
  • sales and support,
  • coaching and
  • on-the-job learning
• Cut down PowerPoint from 100 pages to 10 pages
• Cut costs of development down to 30%
• Increase speed of development to 300%
• Learn the five-step process of chunking and boiling down long content into small, reusable, learning objects
• Preview demos and examples on the step by step process of converting
