Managing risks is a crucial part of any project, from the initiation phase to the completion phase. A project with well-managed risks has a higher likelihood of achieving its goals and delivering value. On the contrast, a project with unmanaged risks can face many obstacles and challenges that can jeopardize its success or even cause it to fail. Whether you are managing a project on a construction site or working for an IT start up on the launch of a new app, the SCHSBM’s Project Risk Management Programme will help you to identify the potential project risks that could impact your outcomes and ensure you have an effective plan to tackle these risks. The programme will outline the process of identifying, analysing, and responding to potential threats and opportunities that may affect the success of a project. Establish a risk management framework that defines the roles and responsibilities, tools and techniques, and communication and reporting mechanisms for risk management across the organization.
One of the challenges of project risk management is to scale it according to the size, complexity, and uncertainty of the project. Thus, applying the same level of risk management to every project may result in either overload or underestimation of risks, leading to wasted resources or unexpected outcomes. To address these issues, this programme will explore best practices that can help to tailor the risk management process to the specific needs and characteristics of your project. Additionally, you will develop the skills to ensure that your project objectives are met within the constraints of time, budget, and quality. Moreover, this programme will enable you to develop the most appropriate risk responses to diverse projects. You will examine project risk management procedures and methods to help you maximise on opportunities and minimise any negative impact on your project objectives.
