Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of project management.
Course schedule
1 Project risk management today
- Business risks, safety and environmental risks, project risks.
- Risk management practices in corporate projects: the current state of play.
- Standard approaches: standards, methods, corporate approaches. PMI and SEI (CMMI) vision.
- Applicable techniques and market tools.
2 Risk management concepts
- What is a risk? Concepts of events, causes and consequences.
- Measuring risk: probability, impact and severity.
- Risk types (classes): strategic, project, product, use, maintenance.
- Risks and levels of responsibility: who manages, who decides, who assumes? The scope of a risk.
- Contractual distribution: prime contractor, subcontractors.
Group discussion
The different types of risk.
3 The risk management process
- The key moments in risk analysis: project definition, project launch and project management.
- Implement a risk management process adapted to the project.
- The roles of the players: project manager, participant, user, manager.
- Basic principles (SEI), the cost of risk management.
Storyboarding workshops
Notions of impact and probability of risk.
4 How do you identify risks?
- Define the exact scope of research and the associated levels of responsibility.
- Use information: reviews (contract, validation, design, tooling), meetings, brainstorming, reporting.
- Identification: risk checklists, databases, constraints analysis and documentation analysis.
- Use uncertainty analysis for estimates, schedules, technologies, processes and resources.
- Risk modeling: Ishikawa diagram, cause/consequence tree, modeling rules.
- The problem of causal independence.
Case study
Identify the risks of a real project.
5 How do you estimate risk?
- Choosing level of precision vs. cost of estimation and stakes. Subjective vs. frequency probabilities.
- Use qualitative estimation techniques: probability, impact.
- Quantitative estimation techniques: Absolute Probability Judgement (Delphi, Betting, Churchman/Ackoff).
- Poincaré methods, 45° diagram, sensitivity analysis, tornado diagram, VMA (Monetary Expected Value).
- Estimating the level of risk exposure and the associated confidence level: Monte-Carlo simulation.
- Calculate the impact on schedules, budgets and the quality or content of deliverables.
- Prioritize risks and calculate their severity.
Case study
Practice quantitative risk analysis techniques.
6 How to reduce risk?
- Areas of reduction: elimination of causes and effects, sharing, early control, information acquisition...
- Modeling downturn scenarios and the probability of a downturn scenario occurring.
- Designing risk-reduction actions, a " rework " of the project, examples.
- Plan and budget preventive reduction actions and contingency plans.
- Calculate probability and residual impact, assess the cost-effectiveness of control actions.
- Present your project strategy.
Case study
Define risk management strategies for the project.
7 Follow and decide
- Monitoring tools: risk sheet templates.
- Monitoring dashboards and risk management efficiency indicators.
- Organization of reporting. Follow-up at milestones or key points. Risk indicators and progress monitoring.
- Preparing for decision-making, adjusting the project plan, triggering a fallback scenario.
- Crisis management.
Storyboarding workshops
Presentation of risk monitoring tools.
8 Organizing project risk management
- Choose your approach to risk based on the stakes involved in the project and the level of maturity of the context.
- Design the project's information structure and tools to identify and monitor risks.
- Clearly assign risk management roles and responsibilities.
- Define risk management requirements for subcontractors and draw up appropriate contractual clauses.
Storyboarding workshops
Identify risk management quality indicators.
