It's your job to monitor the flow of information and determine whether the plan needs to change or whether people's actions need to change, so they comply with the planned approach for project communications.

21. Planning Risk Management. We face many risks during our lifetimes. Some people try to avoid risk by avoiding risky situations. For example, people who don't fly because they're scared the plane will crash. Most of us realize that if we dare to act wisely and take calculated risks, the rewards can outweigh the chance of negative consequences. Sure, airline accidents do rarely happen. But that beach in the Caribbean sure is nice in February. This is the first course in the series of courses on the project risk management knowledge area. We're going to learn about how to plan for risks on a project to make sure that when negative things do happen, we're ready for them.

However, you can analyze project risks in terms of their possible impacts and probabilities. In this course, we'll examine the two risk analysis processes of the project risk management knowledge area, namely, perform qualitative risk analysis and perform quantitative risk analysis.

24. Responding to Risk. Any project, big or small, faces risks. The way you manage these can determine whether the project makes or loses money. Successful risk management involves anticipating risks, preventing them where possible and planning how to deal with risks you can't prevent. This course covers the final three processes in the project risk management knowledge area. Plan risk responses, implement risk responses and monitor risks. You'll learn about some common risk response strategies and how to monitor and control risks as they occur.

Procurement is all about obtaining the goods and services that you'll need for your project. From purchasing raw materials, to contracting out specialties services you need to make sure the goods you buy are good quality. That they arrive when you need them.
