The course teaches you an efficient and goal-oriented approach to project management for projects of all sizes, as well as the use of the specially developed tools riskCentric Project and riskCentric Logbook.


The riskCentric approach focuses on risk management in project leadership, which we believe is the most important discipline in project management for project success. By sharpening your team's focus on the risks that could threaten the success of the project, you establish a highly efficient, targeted and solution-oriented communication. The effectiveness of project meetings at all levels of the project organization is increased and at the same time their duration is shortened.

With the help of the Microsoft Project extension riskCentric Project, you can update the progress of your project planning very efficiently and identify any scheduling conflicts at an early stage. The riskCentric Logbook, based on Microsoft Excel, helps you to continuously collect the project information and present it as a meeting protocol or progress report at the push of a button. The high degree of linkage of the information, especially with the risks, ensures that you always have your project under control.
