Many project teams describe their Risk Management effort as a Risk Mitigation activity to overcome negative project risks. Risk Mitigation is only one of the 8 different responses considered by project teams who are successful in their risk management effort. Teams who consider all 8 risk responses when creating their risk register are more effective in exploiting risk opportunities as well as minimizing or preventing risk threats.

The Risk Management Series of in depth webinars will introduce participants to techniques for defining a Risk Management Process and using this process to progressively build a Risk Register including: identifying risks using a Risk Meta-Language, Assessing Risks with quantitative techniques, understanding the 8 risk responses and selecting the appropriate Risk Response for the project risks and monitoring risks throughout the project.

Solutions Cube Group’s Selecting the Appropriate Risk Responses webinar will help your project teams understand the differences between the 8 risk response types and when it is appropriate to use each response. You will learn how to increase the likelihood of positive risk opportunities occurring and how to reduce or avoid the impact of negative project risks.

In the Selecting the Appropriate Risk Responses webinar, participants learn:

• How to complete the risk register with appropriate risk responses
• Why relying on risk mitigation as the only response to risk creates more risk exposure
• How to differentiate between the Risk Response types available for managing project risk
• Techniques for creating contingency plans as part of the response effort
• When to use each response type when planning the risk management effort

Many of today’s project managers are finding themselves leading and managing Agile development teams, only to find that many of the tools and techniques applied when utilizing a traditional project management approach no longer work as effectively or at all.

In order to do more than survive in this iterative development environment, today’s PM must employ additional project management tools and techniques to effectively lead their teams and deliver their projects.

Learning how to transition from a traditional project manager to an effective Agile Project Manager is going to be an essential step for today’s software development leaders to remain relevant. This hour long web seminar will explore how today’s PM can easily and successfully make the transition to an effective Agile PM.
