About the training
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.
Write a risk plan: With thresholds, roles and escalation.
State a risk clearly: Cause, event and effect on the objective.
Quantify the effect: With expected value and decision trees.
Track responses: And measure their effect before closure.

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