Risk Management for Development Projects
The online instructor-led courses are offered in a personalized mode with no more than 30 students in each class. Start and finish dates are clearly marked. Besides the online tools used for interaction in the virtual environment, courses provide students with continuous support from a technical assistant, the tutor and a program coordinator, who are experts in the course topics, and are able to offer effective feedback in all course activities and promote relevant discussion.
Project teams usually spend a large portion of their time solving problems instead of preventing them. Project risk management seeks to preemptively manage positive and negative events that may affect a project so as to improve its chance of success. What will you be able to do by the end of the course? • Identify risks in scenarios of uncertainty • Determine who can help you • Understand how to manage risks in settings with limited resources • Develop risk response strategies • Monitor and update risks throughout the life of the project
