Course Description
Welcome to Managing Risk in Project Management.
In this micro-credential, you will explore how, as a project manager, you are able to identify and minimise risks to a project.
Project risk management involves the process of identifying, analysing, and monitoring potential risks as well as implementing measures to reduce those risks. Risk management should also consider the possibility of having and utilising positive risk.
A risk management plan that minimises negative risk and increases positive risk will enhance the likelihood of successful project completion. This micro-credential will take you through the fundamentals of a project risk management plan. The project, the workplace and the project team will all have an influence on the construction of the risk management plan.
Upon completing this course, you will receive a digital badge that can be shared on your social media profiles (e.g., LinkedIn), along with a certificate of completion.
