Project Risk Analysis and Mitigation

Catalog description

This course explores the essential process of risk management mitigation in defined projects. Students assess the failures of risk management to deliver expected risk mitigation results, apply a risk management process focusing on achieving efficacy, and implement risk management to various types of projects in organizations (nonprofit, government, and for-profit) and individual endeavors. The Active Threat and Opportunity Management (ATOM) process is designed to meet the need for a simple, scalable risk management process applicable to all projects. Graduate students engage in contemporary scholarship review and submit a semester-length case study analysis and mitigation project.
