Virtual Chapter Event: The Importance of the Risk Register to Successful Project Implementation

Webinar

“The Importance of the Risk Register to Successful Project Implementation” presented by Charles J. Beard, II

The risk register is an invaluable tool aimed at identifying possible areas of risk exposure. The register identifies and logs risk for the project manager while collectively providing a consolidated matrix of areas that require a solution before, they become problems. Finally, the use of the risk register increases confidence to project stakeholders that tangible mitigation measures have been introduced. The purpose of this discussion is to advise primary stakeholders of the questions one should ask when working from small to large scale projects to increase probabilities of successful and non-eventful implementation.

Presentation Details

Increasingly, organizations are being required to certify their compliance with various security frameworks, such as HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, etc. A natural response to this mandate is to as a project manager (either a company employee or contractor) to lead this enterprise-wide effort. What many PMs do not realize is that such projects are not straightforward or easy. Indeed, they are among the most complex and risky projects an organization can engage in.

This talk will illustrate the similarities and differences between a “standard” project and a compliance one, pitfalls to avoid, and critical success factors to ensure an “unqualified attestation” from the compliance auditors. The example of a recent successful SOC 2 accreditation for a PEO company will be used.
