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

Who should attend this webinar?
Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers
