About this course
A risk register is only useful if the underlying uncertainties have been identified clearly. Ricardo Viana Vargas introduces seven techniques for finding risks and then explains how to turn the findings into descriptions that other people can understand.
The current curriculum lists 18 lectures across four sections and 62 minutes, with assessments alongside the lessons. The broader description mentions two hours and additional materials, so the visible lecture listing is the runtime used here.

Skills you’ll gain
- Distinguishing an uncertain risk from an existing issue
- Comparing interview and group-based discovery methods
- Using documentation and analogy to find risks
- Writing a clearer description of an event and its effects
The information-gathering section covers interviews, Delphi, nominal groups, brainstorming and Crawford Slip. The analytical section adds documentation review and analogy, emphasizing that technique selection depends on the situation and the evidence available.
There are no formal prerequisites. A pen, paper or basic spreadsheet can support the identification exercises without specialist risk software. The course concentrates on finding and describing risks rather than advanced quantitative modelling or a complete organizational risk framework.
The closing curriculum refers to PDUs, a certificate and a badge, but their current availability and eligibility have not been verified. They should not be assumed to accompany a new free Udemy enrollment. The separate promoted project-management program is also outside this course.
