Overview

🕮 Cross Civil Service

Managing risk is a key part of delivering a successful project; managing it well can lead to new opportunities that propel your department, while mishandling risk can jeopardise your project’s security, reputation and overall success. A range of relevant techniques and approaches can ensure risks are categorised and managed well, supported by a strong system of recording and monitoring risks during a project’s lifecycle. 

Through a blend of animation, guided learning and reflective activity, you’ll gain practical techniques for identifying, recording and managing risks throughout a project’s lifecycle. By the end, you’ll have greater confidence in applying these principles to your own work and supporting your team to deliver successful outcomes. 

This is a part of a suite of five courses, designed to provide non-specialists with an introduction to the fundamentals of successful project management. The courses include Project Planning, Managing Project Risk, Outcomes and Benefits, Project Scope and Change Control, and Stakeholder Engagement. 

Please refer to the course flyer for the full description of the learning.
