PMBOK® Guide – Eighth Edition: Managing Constraints, Risks, and Uncertainty in Projects
In an era of rapid technological shifts and global volatility, the ability to manage what we don’t know is just as important as managing what we do. This course provides a deep dive into the principles of the PMBOK® Guide 8th Edition, moving beyond traditional risk registers to a holistic view of project resilience. Learners will explore the “System of Value Delivery,” learning how to balance evolving constraints—such as sustainability, data ethics, and resource fluidity—alongside the traditional pillars of scope, time, and cost. This course equips project leaders with the various means to respond to project risks – both positive and negative.
