This Project and Risk Management page on GoConqr gathers community-made mind maps, quizzes, flashcards and notes, from hazard analysis and risk control techniques to project integration, cost control and critical path work. It's built for university students and professional candidates practising planning, risk and project processes, and for teachers after ready-made material. There are over 100 resources here, including more than 70 mind maps, more than 10 quizzes and more than 10 flashcard decks, with PMP among the exams mentioned. Pick a map, try a quiz to find your gaps, then make your own flashcards.

About Project and Risk Management

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The resources split into two broad strands: managing risk and managing projects. On the risk side, the Risk Analysis flashcard deck defines failure, hazard, accident, consequences and severities, and works through HAZOP. The mind map Risk control techniques covers hazard risk zones, the comfortable, cautious and critical zones, and types of controls. Control of selected hazard risks adds the cost of risk control and financial risks such as fraud.

Project management resources

Project Management Integration maps inputs, tools and outputs, including the project charter and the project management plan. Project Management At Vantage follows a project from proposal and initiation through planning, time, cost and communication. Cost Control covers cost estimating, cash flow and overhead rate costing. Planning introduction and planning techniques looks at why planning matters, including contracts and claims.

Learning from real cases

Some maps work through failures. Healthcare.gov rollout issues notes slow requirements definition, contractors chosen without competitive bid and compressed testing. The Space Shuttle Challenger and Challenger Disaster_1 maps give you more cases to compare against the risk methods above.

Where to start

  1. Open the Risk Analysis flashcard deck to learn the key terms.
  2. Read the map 1. Identify Risks, which moves from identifying risks to analysis, mitigation and tracking.
  3. Move to Risk control techniques, then Control of selected hazard risks.
  4. Switch to Project Management Integration and Cost Control for the project side.
  5. Test yourself with the quizzes, such as Risk assessment definitions or Final Exam Review.

Using maps and quizzes together

Read a map first, then take a quiz on the same theme. Note what you missed and go back to the matching branch. Where this unit sits: it belongs to the strand Quantitative Methods, Economics and Projects, within Industrial engineering and quality. When you are ready, choose one map and build a short flashcard set of your own from it.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Risk Analysis flashcard deck if you want the key terms, such as hazard, accident and severities. If you prefer a visual overview, open the mind map 1. Identify Risks, which runs from identifying risks through analysis and mitigation to tracking.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover risk control techniques, hazard risk zones, the cost of risk control, project integration, cost control, planning and the way a project runs at Vantage. Several maps also look at cases, including Healthcare.gov rollout issues and the Challenger disaster.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.

Is there anything for PMP candidates?

PMP is the exam mentioned by the listed resources. Project Management Integration, Develop Project Management Plan and the CAPM Equations flashcard deck may be useful to professional candidates, though they are community-made and worth checking against your own course materials.

Who is this page for?

It suits university students and professional candidates practising risk and project topics, and teachers who want ready-made maps, quizzes and flashcards to share. Most resources are at university or professional level.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try the related maps and flashcard decks on the page, such as Risk Management or Fault Tree Analysis, which may cover nearby ground. A free account also lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes to fill any gap.
