NOTE: Although this session is a part of a larger series – this session can be taken as a stand alone module.

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. They will learn how to increase the likelihood of positive risk opportunities occurring and how to reduce or avoid the impact of negative project risks.

This session will help you Select the Appropriate Risk responses.

In this 1 hour in-depth 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

• All project managers want to deliver their projects successfully.
• Most of us define that success as on time, within budget and to the agreed upon scope.
• High customer satisfaction and high team morale are also common measures of success.

But how are these criteria for success actually met?

Hard work and long hours certainly contribute to project success. But savvy project managers know that leveraging the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the way to make sure those long hours are spent working hard on the right deliverables to stay within the constraints of schedule and budget.

The WBS defines what the project needs to produce, and what the team will do to produce it.

The WBS enables more accurate and realistic planning in defining the scope, schedule and budget, and serves as the basis for what is in versus out of scope during project execution. With a well-defined WBS, projects can be delivered more successfully.

In this webinar you will learn:

• A two-step approach for developing a WBS
• How to determine the right amount of detail
• How to produce a project artifact to answer key stakeholder questions
