702 - Introduction to Project Risk Management with Pertmaster Software

Introduction
This course is aimed at those who wish to gain a good understanding of the scheduling and risk analysis capabilities of Pertmaster Project Risk. The course provides “hands-on” exercises for scheduling and quantitative risk analysis with Pertmaster.

Learning Outcome

  • Cost & schedule risk analysis theory
  • Pertmaster progress and schedule checker
  • Review of risk types including estimate uncertainty, risk events, task existence and weather modeling
  • The generation and use of three-point estimates
  • The use of the unique Pertmaster Quick Risk utility
  • Using alternate distributions
  • Correlation
  • Probabilistic branching and events
  • Criticality and cruciality to determine the key risk drivers within your project
  • Risk reporting: Interpreting the results through risk histograms and tornado charts
  • Integration with Primavera and MS Project software
  • Risk Register and Risk Categories
  • Integrated qualitative and quantitative risk analysis

Who Should Attend
This 3 day introduction course is aimed at all new Pertmaster software users and prospective users looking to evaluate and benefit from the full capabilities of Pertmaster Software

Day 1 Overview:
Intended to provide a good understanding of the main risk analysis capabilities of Pertmaster software. This day will use many “hands-on” exercises for learning the basics of quantitative risk analysis including:

  • Basic schedule and cost risk analysis theory
  • Using three-point estimates
  • An introduction to the Risk Register
  • Running a quantitative risk analysis and understanding results: Bell-curves, S-curves, criticality, sensitivity and cruciality,P- schedules
  • Integration with MS Project and/or Primavera



Day 2 Overview:
Extensive “hands-on” exercises cover further risk management topics such as:

  • Advanced schedule and cost risk analysis theory
  • Qualitative and quantitative risk assessment templating
  • Correlation in theory and practice
  • Risk mitigation – management cost/benefit analysis
  • Management costs, liquidated damages, revenues, probabilistic cash flow
  • Probabilistic and conditional branching
  • An introduction to macros and extending Pertmaster


Day 3 Overview:

NEW lab workshop that uses case-study examples to cover the whole
risk analysis process:

  • Use it to explore topics further, optionally on your own data.
  • Practice techniques in your own time with trainer assistance.
  • Gain valuable confidence that will help you apply the training to your work.
