Ways of Working 

Get ready for another engaging PMI Nova Scotia virtual lunch and learn!

Join Rafael Vitorelli for an engaging virtual lunch and learn. Are you tired of dealing with unexpected project setbacks and delays? Are
you looking for practical strategies to mitigate risks and ensure project
success? Look no further! In our upcoming presentation, we will dive deep
into the world of risk management and equip you with the tools you need
to identify, assess, and address project risks collaboratively.

Combining approaches from PRINCE2 and PMBOK, we will explore the use of a risk register, detail impact matrix, detail probability matrix, and risk
questionnaire. We will also highlight the importance of risk management in
achieving shared goals and ensuring project success. 

By attending this presentation, you will develop practical skills in risk management strategy creation and application. You will walk away with a
clear understanding of how to effectively manage risks in your projects, and
the confidence to apply these strategies in your day-to-day work.

Time permitting, at the end of the presentation, we will go through how to harness ChatGPT's AI prowess to identify project risk with ease and create
mitigation approaches to achieve project success.
