About this programme
This course equips participants with the knowledge and tools to identify, assess, and manage risks in projects using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Participants will learn how to apply structured methods to evaluate risk probability, impact, and overall project exposure. The course emphasizes practical application of techniques such as risk registers, probability-impact matrices, Monte Carlo simulations, and sensitivity analysis. Case studies are integrated to illustrate how organizations use risk analysis to improve decision-making, minimize losses, and increase project success rates.
