It’s one thing to fill out a form. It’s another thing entirely to know what you’re putting in the boxes and know that it has meaning.

In this entertaining romp with risk, Carl Pritchard  author of the Risk Management Memory Jogger  examines the joy of the risk register and the real value behind filling out the boxes properly.

Carl gives you a chance to see why “high” doesn’t always mean “high” to everyone on the team and to explore the pains and joys of risk ownership (and who makes the ideal risk owner).

He’ll look at responses and their outcomes, pointing out that “nothing happened” may be an outcome that cries out for change. Carl puts his PMI-RMP to work as he examines the point behind the risk categories and explains what risk sources really mean to us in the long run.

Author of two risk management texts he has lectured on risk from Sydney to Saskatchewan. Join Carl for an opportunity to find out how even MS Project can be used as a specialized Risk Register!

Presenter : Carl Pritchard (LinkedIn profile, @carlpritchard) Project Management Risk Guru & Presenter Extraordinaire Carl has written more that 70 articles on The Fundamentals of Project Management – Applying traditional project management in demanding environment. A bio and a large compilation of article experts by Carl Pritchard on Project Management topics is available on: http://www.projectconnections.com.

Artificial intelligence (AI) will transform every industry, and it will affect people and society.

1 in 3 technology projects fail.

• 15% of all technology projects fail because of high cost variance.
• 18% are unsuccessful because they were substantially late.

Why such a dismal success rate? All project managers know this simple fact: Project Success is Difficult. But is it as simple to define what changes are necessary to increase project success?

Topics Covered:

• Precise management of resources. Who is working on what?
• Accurate project tracking. How do I get this project back on schedule?
• Definition of project terms. What does “done” really mean?

During this webinar we will explore five ways to improve your odds of successfully completing projects on time and on budget.
