Chris Kaprielian is the Vice President of Marketing for the PMI Hampton Roads Chapter, a Project Management Professional (PMP), Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, retired U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel, and Senior Project Manager with more than two decades of experience leading complex programs across military operations, healthcare, logistics, and organizational transformation. Throughout his career, he has facilitated cross-functional planning teams responsible for managing uncertainty, refining requirements, and solving complex operational problems in high-stakes environments.

In this interactive session, Chris will introduce three practical techniques that project managers can immediately apply to build stronger, more comprehensive risk registers: reviewing lessons learned, conducting pre-mortem analyses, and using structured scenario planning to uncover hidden risks before they become project issues. Whether you're leading predictive, agile, or hybrid projects, you'll leave with practical tools you can apply immediately to improve planning, strengthen decision-making, and increase the likelihood of project success.
