Course Description

Every project is subjected to significant uncertainty and the possibility of things occurring or being discovered which could significantly impact, positively or negatively on its success. Effective Project Risk Analysis and Management lies at the very core of successful project delivery.  Organisations plan and develop projects with greater anticipation that they will provide an effective solution to the problems facing them. However, this cannot be achieved easily without carefully appraising and planning for the management of risks and uncertainties. Systematic identification, quantification and analysis of project risks, as well as the development of detailed risk treatment strategies to mitigate all relevant risks that threaten the intended outcomes of the project, are essential to the achievement of project success. This course is designed to knowledge and skills on financial, economic, stakeholder, Investment Appraisal and risk analysis and risk management.
