Plan Risk Management: Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs0:16
Plan Risk Management: Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs
Understanding Project Risk5:40
The projects you'll manage will face many different risks. First of all, let's define what we mean by risk. Project risks have two characteristics. They're events that might happen, and they have the potential to impact one or more of the project objectives.
Types of Project Risks5:27
In this topic we're going to use our definition of project risk to examine more closely what it means that project objectives would be impacted by unforeseen events.
Reducing the Uncertainty of Risk5:31
For risk management to succeed, you must respond proactively to risks. If you only respond once an event occurs, you will waste time and resources needlessly trying to manage it.
Understanding Risk Responses4:26
Risk management has two central roles, reducing uncertainty about identified risks, and determining appropriate responses for when risk events do occur.

Tools and Techniques to Plan Risk Management3:22
Imagine trying to manage a project where you aren't sure what the project's potential risks are. In order to effectively monitor and control the risks on a project, it is important to first plan for potential risks. To do so, you use specific tools and techniques.
The Risk Management Plan6:59
The plan risk management process has one output, the risk management plan. A typical risk management plan includes several important sections which are Methodology, Roles and Responsibilities, Budgeting, Timing, Reporting Formats, Tracking, and Risk Categories.
Sample Risk Management Plan3:51
The risk management plan contains the overall plan for managing risk throughout the project's life cycle, broken down into different sections. In this topic, we're going to walk through a simple risk management plan. Tina is a project manager for a large urban hospital.

Description

I. The Risk Management Certification Program (PMI-RMP)

Welcome to the Risk Management Certification Program (PMI-RMP). The Program is PMBOK6 aligned and includes the courses on Planning Risk Management, Identifying Risk, Analyzing Risk and Responding to Risk.

1. Planning Risk Management. We're going to learn about how to plan for risks on a project to make sure that when negative things do happen, we're ready for them.

2. Identifying Risk. Covers the inputs you need to look at in order to identify risks. And how to use several techniques, such as Data Analysis methods, like SWOT Analysis, and Assumption, and Constraint Analysis, to help you develop an effective risk register.

3. Analyzing Risk. We'll examine the two risk analysis processes of the project risk management knowledge area, namely, perform qualitative risk analysis and perform quantitative risk analysis.

4. The Responding to Risk covers the final three processes in the project risk management knowledge area. Plan risk responses, implement risk responses and monitor risks. You'll learn about some common risk response strategies and how to monitor and control risks as they occur.

All instructional activities will earn you the necessary for PMI certification and credential maintenance if you already are a certified PMI Risk Management Professional or Project Management Professional.

II. The Business Analysis Certification Program (IIBA - ECBA)

The Business Analysis Certification Program is aligned with the (Business Analysis Body of Knowledge Guide) BABOK version 3 and has a total of 14 sections that are also presented as individual courses for your convenience.

1. Introduction to Business Analysis. Foundational concepts related to business analysis. First we're going to look at business analysis and what it is, what a business analyst does, and some of the core concepts related to working in this field. Then we'll look at some of the key terms, such as stakeholder, requirements, and design.

2. Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring. The tasks in this knowledge area produce documents that direct you as a business analyst throughout a project. These documents include the general approach you'll take, the plan for engaging stakeholders, and how you'll manage information, and changes to the requirements.

3. Business Analysis Elicitation and Collaboration. Find out how business analysts identify and reach agreements with stakeholders on requirements. The tasks in this knowledge area describe how you as a business analyst reach a mutual understanding of various types of business analysis information with stakeholders. The activities associated with this task include workshops, surveys, and ad hoc collaboration and conversations.

4. Business Analysis and Requirements Life Cycle Management. Requirements are the foundation of all your business analysis activities. If the objective of a project is to deliver solutions that best meet requirements, then you'd best keep a close eye on those requirements and the designs that address them. So, we’ll look at what your role is in tracing and maintaining requirements and designs.

5. Business Analysis and Strategy Analysis. It covers everything from assessing the current state of operations, doing some visioning regarding a desired future state, determining what the risks are that will need to be managed, and then coming up with the best strategy for realizing the desired future state.

6. Business Analysis and RADD: Requirements Definition. This course covers the first three tasks, which involve creating a list of requirements and then verifying that they are of sufficient quality to be used for further work. And then, validating them to ensure they deliver benefits to the stakeholders, align with business goals, and align with the objectives of the change.

7. Requirements Analysis and Design Definition. Related to creating a requirements architecture. You develop a set of designs and analyze those to determine where the best value is. The final step is to develop the solution recommendation that represents the best design.

8. Business Analysis and Solution Evaluation. It involves measuring and analysing solution performance as well as identifying limitations within the solution and the enterprise that may be keeping the solution from reaching its full value potential. The final task is to recommend actions to remove the limitations and thereby increase the value of the solution.
