Abstract:
Risk Management is a critical component of any discussion, be it quality, management, or leadership in general. The tragedy is that all too many managers don't see the inextricable link between how we manage risk and how we're perceived as quality managers. In this presentation, Carl Pritchard, a lead chapter author of the Risk Management for the PMI Project Management Common Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), leads the charge in examining how we can more effectively get others to carry our risk "banner" and buy into the concerns we have about quality process, practice and outcomes.
Come to this meeting and learn from an industry recognized subject matter expert, the way risk management can be used in conjunction with any SDLC such as waterfall, Agile or spiral or in an operational environment for your organization.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
1) Express risk as comprehensive statements, understood by others
2) Establish risk tolerances that enable others to clearly know when and where risks can be accepted or must be avoided
3) Create a sense of risk community by establishing common areas of concern
Note: Attendees receive PDUs to use for recertification credits at PMI, QAI, ASQ, ISC2, ISACA, IEEE or ISTQB.
