Primavera Risk Workshop - Taught on Demand
The purpose of a risk workshop is to carry out an independent assessment of the risks on a bid or project and to define an appropriate Risk Plan so the project has the best ability to succeed. Often in a schedule risk analysis the baseline schedule is not audited and is decomposed to a summary in order to ease the difficulty of the analysis. A risk workshop should improve and validate the baseline schedule, identify and assess the project risk through interactive sessions with the project team, and lead to a comprehensive risk strategy.
