There is no shortage of project management tools which is why so many project managers feel like they’re drowning in the process.
This course focuses on two techniques crucial to project success - stakeholder communication and risk management—and explains them in plain English so you can confidently apply them to any project.
Project management has never been this simple. You’ll learn how to identify project stakeholders and the importance of communicating with them throughout the lifecycle of a project. In addition, you’ll gain a template you can tailor to your own needs to create your own stakeholder Communications Plan.
You’ll also learn everything you need to develop and implement a Risk Management Plan that includes all the essential elements. You’ll find out how to recognize when teams are most likely to make the wrong decisions and take reckless chances. And, you’ll examine the different types of project risks, compare quantitative and qualitative risk management and learn how to calculate the impact of a known risk.
