About the Program

The Seventh Dimension of Project Management: Risk and the Triple Constraints

Risk in project management isn't like classical risk, where probabilities are known and where impacts can always be turned into a dollar figure. If you're a week late (or early) with your project, what does that mean? On some projects, this could be a catastrophe. On others, the damage could be negligible. Project risk follows the Triple Constraints, the interplay of time, cost and performance that defines the universe of your project. Michael Dobson, author of six books on project management, including most recently "The Six Dimensions of Project Management," will take your understanding of project risk to new levels, including new risk response strategies for both threats and opportunities.

About the Speaker

Michael Dobson is the author of six books on project management, including Practical Project Management (SkillPath, 1996), The Juggler’s Guide to Managing Multiple Projects (PMI, 1999), and most recently The Six Dimensions of Project Management (Management Concepts, 2007). He’s the author of twenty books. His additional business books include Managing UP! and Enlightened Office Politics, both with wife Deborah Singer Dobson. Enlightened Office Politics was named to Library Journal’s “Best 100 Business Books of the Year." Michael has taught project management since the early 1990s and with Management Concepts since the turn of the century. He has a degree in writing from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
