PROJECT RISK MANAGEMNT AND DECISIONS ANALYSIS

PROJECT RISK MANAGEMENT


• The fact that almost all projects are executed in a
COURSE relatively uncertain environment, the project managers
DESCRIPTION need to develop their capacity in assessing the risky
environment, analyze it thoroughly and take the
necessary preventive action before the projects
confront credible loss. For this reason, this course has
designed "Project Risk Management and Decision
Analysis" to be incorporated as part of the program,
Project leadership and Management.
• The main emphases of the course will be on
understanding risks for projects, managing risks for
effective decision, applying risk management
techniques suitable to circumstantial factors, risk
management methods, and review risks from time to
time.

Learning • At the end of this course, students will:

• Explain how risk can impact a project, identify the components of
the risk management plan and risk register and their relationship
to the project management plan as well describe the techniques
involved in risk identification and analysis
• Explain how the probability and impact of risk can be assessed and
how risk events can be prioritized
• Explain how risk planning, risk analysis, risk response planning,
and risk monitoring and controlling are related

 Uncertainty. It is absence of certainity of


the outcome and probabilities in a
particular situation.
 It is a condition where you are not sure
about the probability and future outcomes
 In case of risk outcome is unknown but the
probability of governing that outcome is
known.
 Uncertainty is characterized by unknown
probability and unknown outcome.
 “Risks are known unknowns”
 “Uncertainties are unknown unknowns”

1.3 Risk and Probability in Sense of Projects Risk consists of three elements
