Of incorporating ongoing Risk Management and Monitoring activities

Treating risk management as a one time identification and assessment activity leaves the project effort exposed to many avoidable and manageable project risks.

Solutions Cube Group’s Monitoring and Managing the Successful Risk Plan webinar will help your project teams understand the characteristics that lead to effective project risk management.

They will learn how to evaluate the success of risk responses and what to do with Secondary Project Risks as they occur. The will learn the difference between managing risk and responding to problems and issues resulting from risks that occur.

• How to recognize the organization’s Risk Maturity level and use this knowledge to manage risk appropriately on projects.
• How to develop a Risk Communication Plan that identifies the unique needs of each project stakeholder

LESSONS LEARNED:

2. Learn which approaches for getting better knowledge of resource availability won’t work in your organization.
