Projects rarely go exactly as planned, which makes understanding risk an important part of project work. This course explains how to recognize possible problems before they affect important project goals. You will explore different types of project risks, how to assess their likelihood and impact, how to record them, and how to decide which risks need attention first. The course also covers response planning, contingency actions, risk ownership, regular reviews, and communication with stakeholders. Instead of treating risk management as complicated paperwork, the course presents it as an ongoing part of everyday project decisions. Practical situations help you understand how early action can reduce delays, extra costs, and unexpected project problems.
