SSUD12-117: Project Risk Management

Description

Strategic decision-making in a projectised organisation is typically driven by an analysis of stakeholder objectives, open communication and risk appetite. This subject explores how risks are managed from the initiation phase of a project or program until its closure phase. Topics covered include types of risks, qualitative assessment, quantitative assessment, risk treatment strategies, Monte Carlo simulation, and disaster recovery. Successful outcomes can occur when an expected outcome is realised.
