Risks that create the project crisis are never fully predictable. Moving to a project management training that introduces the unexpected in the training project or simulation prepares the future project managers for real world reality. You deal with the actual or potential crisis recognizing that it is a normal and an expected aspect of the project management process. The project management training sessions provide actual training experience on the second aspect of the SEI, Boehm, or Karolak frameworks. Conclusion Software engineering contains and will be fraught with risk through the foreseeable future.
Risk management provides a useful preplanning perspective.
Unfortunately, with the creation of a software engineering project plan, risk frequently cannot be specified during early stages of a project. Learning how to quickly and appropriately respond to an unexpected major alteration in performance specifications, resources, or schedule needs to be instilled into the project manager through training. Training project managers with random crisis situations in course projects works. The training curriculum may be more difficult to create, but the value in developing project managers who can successfully cope and understand risk is worth the effort. Mellon University, 1996.
