Overview: PRINCE2 Foundation Practice

In the PRINCE2 Foundation course, understanding the risk theme is crucial. This theme ensures that uncertainty is managed effectively, so the project stays on track. Knowing the minimum requirements for applying the risk theme helps in maintaining control and mitigating potential problems before they become major issues.


Key Learning Items 📚

Understanding the risk theme involves a few key learning items: 👉 Identifying potential risks (both threats and opportunities) early in the project. 👉 Assessing the potential impact and likelihood of these risks. 👉 Planning appropriate responses to manage risks. 👉 Implementing and maintaining risk management throughout the project lifecycle.
