Programs are more than just “big projects.” Programs are complicated collections of interrelated projects that involve complex hierarchies of deliverables, workflow, and teams. While managing risks well in each of the projects that make up a large program is necessary, it is never sufficient.
In this presentation, Tom will explore the sources of risk from above, below, and within major programs. He will provide guidance on identifying and assessing program risks, and will describe how to respond to and manage risks throughout a program.
Takeaways:
After this presentation, participants will be able to:
• Find program deliverable risks through systems analysis and iterative planning.
• Locate program workflow and dependency risks using interface management.• Identify program staffing and resource risks with program reviews and skills analysis.
• Understand and comprehensively manage risk for large, complex programs.
