PM 101: Workshop 8 – Risk, Issue, and Change Management

Location: In-Person | ROOM SBUS225

Date: May 9

Time: 1pm – 3pm

Facilitator:   David Vincenti - Adjunct, Information Management and Business Analytics  

Projects, especially the larger and more complex projects, are full of challenges.  In this workshop, we will take a closer look at these challenges including risks, issues, change, and conflicts.  Risks are future uncertainties, which can result in both positive and negative consequences.  As such, project managers often have more time to plan and respond to risks. Issues are problems or obstacles that have occurred or are occurring, which means that project managers must confront them immediately.  A particular type of challenge is change.  Change is a constant, and unless it is well managed, change can be disruptive at best and detrimental at worst.  Another potentially vicious challenge is conflicts, which are intense disagreements over priorities, processes, or relationship.  

As a part of the workshop, we are planning four activities: using the templates provided, analyze a project to identify risks, issues, changes, and conflicts.
