Synopsis

Project management is the art of analyzing and managing risks. Without risk, there is little need for project management.

• Perform qualitative and quantitative risk analysis
• Perform project risk analysis using Monte Carlo simulations
• Use event chain methodology to improve project risk analysis
• Perform risk analysis of project portfolios.

Easily recognizable real-life stories and projects provide a compelling narrative while imparting valuable information on both the theory and practice of project risk management.
