Uncertainty Is Not The Same As Risk

As with many things in life, all projects are subject to uncertainty, however uncertainty is not the same as “risk”. Because all projects are initiated to produce change in the current environment, risk during the project lifecycle is a natural occurrence.

Project Risks can be negative “threats” to be minimized as well as positive “opportunities” to be exploited during the life of a project. Effective Project Risk Management recognizes both types of risks and is the key contributor to “project success”, but effective Risk Management doesn’t just happen – it is orchestrated and managed throughout the project lifecycle.

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.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• The difference between Project Risk and Uncertainty
• The value of including Opportunities and Threats in the scope of risk management
• How to recognize the characteristics of a successful risk management effort
• How to avoid factors that lead to failed risk management activities
• The steps for preparing to run a successful risk management effort

Solutions Cube Group’s Preparing for the Successful Risk Management Effort will help your project teams understand the characteristics of a successful risk management effort. Instructors will share techniques that can be used on every risk management effort to understand the risk culture of an organization and achieve a more effective risk management effort that balances the impacts of project uncertainties with the effort needed to prevent or encourage the uncertain events.

You’ve written your query, mined millions of rows of data, and tuned for maximum performance. Now it’s time to share the information you’ve found with your stakeholders. At a minimum, this causes at least a moment of pause for many. Reporting – it’s seemingly easy, yet complicated to do correctly.

Whether it is a one-off report, simple dashboard, or web-based portal, how you present your data is just as important as the data itself. What good is information if you can’t communicate it?

Over the course of this hour, we’ll discuss some field-tested strategies for creating data visualization projects designed to deliver key information in an intuitive and powerful way.

It’s easy to figure out that something is wrong with your website’s performance, but pinpointing the specific problem is a lot harder, especially when you’re not measuring the right things.

Just as a doctor needs to run tests before diagnosing a patient, you need to be monitoring all of the things that can possibly go wrong before you can determine exactly what went wrong.

Mehdi Daoudi (LinkedIn profile) CEO and Co-founder of Catchpoint Systems, will draw upon his years of experience in the monitoring industry to outline what you need to be measuring in order to ensure that you can not only correct problems that arise, but do so before your users are impacted.

In this webinar, Mehdi will cover:

1. The importance of measurement in serving your users
2. Too much data is almost as bad as not enough data; you need to focus on what matters
3. How to analyze the data that you collect in order to draw sound conclusions
4. How to relate monitoring data to business metrics and institute a culture of performance within your organization
