Course Overview

Effective Project Portfolio and Risk Management Strategies are critical for organizations to align projects with business objectives while mitigating uncertainties. This comprehensive course combines Portfolio Management Skills and Techniques with Risk Management for Projects, providing professionals with the expertise to optimize project selection, prioritize investments, and minimize risks. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), organizations that implement mature portfolio management practices achieve 35% more successful project outcomes, while McKinsey reports that 60% of large projects face cost overruns due to poor risk management.
Key highlights of this training include:
Strategic alignment of projects with organizational goals through portfolio optimization techniques.
Advanced risk assessment methodologies, including Monte Carlo simulation and decision tree analysis.
Financial and non-financial project evaluation to maximize return on investment (ROI).
Earned Value Management (EVM) for tracking portfolio performance and ensuring accountability.
Governance and compliance frameworks to maintain transparency in project execution.
With only 58% of organizations fully understanding the value of portfolio management (PMI Pulse of the Profession 2023), this course bridges the gap by equipping professionals with the tools to balance project investments, assess risks, and enhance decision-making. Participants will gain insights into portfolio prioritization, risk quantification, and performance monitoring, ensuring sustainable project success.
