A Model to Develop and Use Risk Contingency Reserve

Duration: 1 day

Description: Are you aware of the benefits of risk contingency reserve but unsure how to start? Do you know what an adequate level of contingency reserve is for your project? If you want answers to such questions about contingency reserve and more, this course is for you. As an attendee, you will take away knowledge of a model to develop risk contingency reserve using Expected Monetary Value that you can use to benefit your projects.

The contingency reserve is a critical part of project risk management. With a contingency reserve, project managers can address risks, communicate the level of risk exposure to stakeholders, and increase the predictability of project outcomes. Using the risk register and Expected Monetary Value (EMV) technique, project managers can easily develop a contingency reserve for their project and begin realizing the benefits of this powerful tool.

This course is an overview of project risk management with emphasis on developing and using the contingency reserve. You will learn more about how contingency reserve fits into the overall risk management process, how to calculate and use the contingency reserve, and how to communicate the contingency reserve to stakeholders to increase organizational participation in risk management. You will leave with a better idea about contingency reserve and the role it plays in keeping the projects on track. You will also walk away with tools and templates to effectively implement contingency reserve for your projects.

Course Objectives: After completing the course, you will be able to

• Understand how to create a risk contingency reserve using Expected Monetary Value.
• Communicate risks to stakeholders and team members using the risk contingency reserve.
• Use risk contingency reserve to improve predictability of your project outcomes.

Risk Management for Projects

Duration: 1 to 3 days

Description: Do your projects get derailed often? Do you think such problems could have been avoided or drastically reduced if there had been an explicit early concern with identifying and resolving the high-risk elements in those projects? If yes, then this course is for you.

Project risk management is perhaps the least understood and most effective tool project managers, program managers, or PMOs can employ to increase the odds of project success. When implemented correctly, it not only boosts probability of success, but also alleviates anxiety and improves predictability. Over the last decade, project risk management has become the backbone of organizations which successfully deliver projects, and in the current period it is absolutely essential to the success of a project/program/PMO.

This course on Risk Management covers theoretical as well as practical aspects of risk management methodologies. Examples from real projects will clarify concepts and illustrate the best practices. Attendees will also get an opportunity to participate in a few exercises that will prepare them to implement best practices in their projects.

Course Objectives: After completing the course, you will be able to

• Define and differentiate between issues and risks, threats and opportunities, and total, residual, and secondary risks.
• Assess risk tolerances and attitudes of stakeholders.
• Understand all parts of a risk management plan and develop a risk management plan for your real projects.
• Analyze and prioritize risks using qualitative and quantitative risk analysis methods.
• Use risk contingency reserve with Expected Monetary Value (EMV) to improve the predictability of project outcomes.

Who Should Attend: This course is ideal for project/program managers, portfolio managers, PMO leaders, executives, project sponsors, change agents, project team members, business/systems analysts and other project stakeholders.
