Course description
Monitoring and Controlling Project Change and Risk
This is one of four courses in the CEG Project Management Certificate Program. It is aligned with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Sixth Edition. The course begins by covering risk planning, then focuses on monitoring and control from a variety of perspectives, including scope, schedule, cost, communications, and risk.
As part of a case study, participants develop a risk register and risk response plans. Then, participants respond to scenarios in which status reports indicate variances from the project plan. Participants must analyze variances in scope, cost, and schedule and then prepare change requests to bring the project back under control. In a simulated change control process, change requests are evaluated for approval or rejection based on an impact assessment. Participants then learn how to update project baselines to reflect change control decisions.

Training content
learning objectives:
- Describe how project status information supports project monitoring and control.
- Demonstrate how to assess individual and overall project risks based on probability and impact.
- Develop and implement appropriate risk response strategies to address positive and negative risks.
- Analyze a risk event and determine what impact, if any, it may have on scope, schedule, and cost baselines.
- Explain the difference between scope control and scope validation.
- Analyze work performance data using the earned value management (EVM) technique to determine the cause and degree of variance from project baselines.
- Analyze a variance to determine if corrective or preventive action is required and if a change to cost, scope, or schedule baselines is necessary.
- Describe the main features of a configuration management system and explain its importance in project monitoring and control.
- Describe what steps are necessary in a change control procedure in order to ensure that only authorized changes are made to project baselines.
