Risk and Issue Management

 

Audience

Project and Programme Sponsors / SROs, Steering Group members, Key Stakeholders, Business Change Managers, Project Managers,   Programme Managers, Team members and Programme Office staff.

Background

All projects and programmes are subject to some degree of risk, and are likely to be affected by issues. These can – and regularly do – cause projects to fail to meet their objectives.  Proactive management of risks and issues is an essential discipline of project and programme management and should be understood by all project/programme stakeholders.

It is also essential that risks and issues are not simply identified and evaluated, but are addressed through action plans and clear assignment of responsibilities.

Objectives

On completion, delegates will understand how to:

  • Identify risks, issues, countermeasures and contingencies
  • Set up and maintain risk & issue registers
  • Report on key risks and issues as part of project/programme reporting
  • Describe the importance of risk & issue management as a part of project/programme governance
  • Organise risk and issue workshops
  • Describe how this approach supports industry-standard approaches like  PRINCE2®, MSP®, MoP® and MoR®
  • Begin applying the techniques on real projects and programmes
