Project Management 9: Costs, Risks and Quality Training Course
$27.50 inc. GST
This course covers three of the most common reasons projects fall short of expectations — cost overruns, unmanaged risks, and poor quality outcomes. Learners work through how to build and monitor a project budget, develop a step-by-step risk mitigation plan, and apply the seven core quality control tools used by project managers worldwide. The result is a practical skill set that goes beyond simply getting a project done — it’s about getting it done right.
This course is topic #9 in the Tribal Habits Project Management series and is designed for learners who have a foundational understanding of project stages. On completion, learners receive an instant digital certificate confirming their skills across cost control, risk management, and quality assurance.
This course will take approximately 34 minutes to complete.
Why is the Project Management 9: Costs, Risks and Quality Course Important?
Projects rarely fail because the work wasn’t done — they fail because the budget blew out, a foreseeable risk wasn’t managed, or the final output didn’t meet expectations. These three issues — cost, risk, and quality — are consistently the areas where projects are judged, and where organisations lose time, money, and credibility. Understanding how to manage each of them is what separates a completed project from a successful one.
This course directly addresses that gap by equipping learners with structured, practical tools: a budget-building and reporting process, a risk mitigation framework they can implement immediately, and the Basic Seven quality control tools used to monitor and maintain project standards.
