Managing Projects for Success: Project Leadership & Project Risk Management (3 days)
Projects are inherently risky ventures. If there is no risk, the activity may not be a project. In this course, participants will learn that risk is identified, assessed and minimized during project planning. A project plan consists basically of six things, project objectives (requirements, SOW), a work breakdown, (WBS), a project organization (OBS), a project schedule, project baseline (budget) and risk management. This model is easy to learn and reduces the likelihood of costly omissions, incorrect scope or feature creep. It also avoids unnecessary and time‐wasting micro‐management. This simple model, for example, is used throughout Airbus Industries, where BMC is the Strategic Advisor in Project Management for the aircraft company.
