Course Description
If you broaden your perspective, every major product or service can be thought of as a project for a manager to assess. Project risk analysis helps project managers identify the weaknesses, strengths, opportunities, and threats throughout the project. This course covers the most common project risks managers might encounter. Managers will also want to evaluate their returns, and you will learn four ways to analyze returns, as well as the fundamentals of portfolio analysis.
Project risks, returns, and portfolio management enable a business to evaluate their projects and investments. This course offers some important tools and techniques for all three topics. You will be able to identify common project risks your business might face, and you will learn about the creation and implementation of project logs to help your business monitor risk. This course will also help you analyze your returns using: return on investment (ROI), return on assets (ROA), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) calculations. You will also learn how to evaluate your company’s portfolio using diversification, correlation, and asset allocation as guides for your investment activities.
