The last six themes of the course discuss each of the six steps or phases of a typical risk management process like the AS/NZS 4360 process or the ISO 31000 process that superseded the Australian process. These steps are:
The overall objective of this course is to obtain the required theoretical knowledge of project risk management, with an emphasis on the tools, techniques, procedures and processes to manage risks within any project.
