About the training

Connect specialist knowledge to practice.

On many projects the risk register is filled in once and forgotten. PMI-RMP tests whether you can make risk part of how the project is run: find what threatens the objectives, size its effect, choose a response and follow it up.

What will you learn?

  • 01

    Write a risk plan: With thresholds, roles and escalation.

  • 02

    State a risk clearly: Cause, event and effect on the objective.

  • 03

    Quantify the effect: With expected value and decision trees.

  • 04

    Track responses: And measure their effect before closure.

Strategy and identification

Setting the organization’s risk appetite and thresholds, writing the risk plan, and running an identification workshop. The sponsor accepts a two-week delay; the client will not accept one day.

07

Qualitative and quantitative analysis

Ranking risks by probability and impact, then expected value, sensitivity analysis and decision trees. Is a backup supplier worth its extra cost to cut the delay risk?

08

Response and monitoring

Choosing a response and its owner, setting reserves, and tracking triggers until the risk closes. The shipment-delay trigger fired, and nobody acted.

How to organize your study

  • Confirm your eligibility route: Document your risk experience and education hours.
  • Start with strategy: Appetite, thresholds and the plan before the tools.
  • Master identification and analysis: The two heaviest domains in the exam.
  • Practice the calculations: Expected value and decision trees until they are routine.
  • Close response and monitoring: Response, owner, trigger and closure.
  • Revise by weight and error: Redo every missed question and note why.
