Assessing and Managing Project Risk

Catalog description

More difficult economic conditions, increasing competition, and exponentially expanding technology create greater uncertainty and risk in projects. With these complex challenges come complex threats and opportunities. Uncertainty and associated risks have become more complex as project spans organizational, national, and cultural bounds. In this course, the student will investigate the iterative nature of planning, identification, qualitative and quantitative analysis, response, and control of risk events for both threats and opportunities. Additional course skills will include contingency and reserve development and the use of Project Management Information Systems (PMIS).
