Compile all project parts into a single risk management plan document. Reduce redundant text, if any. Incorporate instructor feedback on the previous submissions in the final risk management plan.
Risk Management Plan
Introduction
This risk management plan outlines the process for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks to the project. The plan will be used to ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.
Risk Identification
The first step in risk management is to identify all of the potential risks to the project. This can be done by brainstorming with the project team, reviewing historical data, and conducting interviews with stakeholders.
Once all of the potential risks have been identified, they need to be classified as either high, medium, or low risk. High-risk items are those that have a high likelihood of occurring and/or a high impact on the project. Medium-risk items are those that have a moderate likelihood of occurring and/or a moderate impact on the project. Low-risk items are those that have a low likelihood of occurring and/or a low impact on the project.
Risk Assessment
The next step is to assess the likelihood and impact of each risk. This can be done by assigning a score to each risk, such as a 1-10 scale, where 1 is very unlikely to occur and 10 is very likely to occur. The impact of each risk can be assessed by estimating the cost, schedule, or quality impact of the risk.
Risk Mitigation
Once the risks have been identified and assessed, the next step is to develop mitigation strategies for each risk. Mitigation strategies are actions that can be taken to reduce the likelihood or impact of a risk.
There are a number of different mitigation strategies that can be used, such as avoiding the risk, transferring the risk, reducing the likelihood of the risk, or reducing the impact of the risk.
Risk Monitoring and Control
The final step in risk management is to monitor and control the risks throughout the project. This involves tracking the status of each risk and taking corrective action as needed.
Risk monitoring and control is an ongoing process that should be performed throughout the project.
Instructor Feedback
The instructor feedback on the previous submissions of the risk management plan was positive overall. The instructor noted that the plan was well-organized and comprehensive. However, the instructor also provided some specific feedback on how to improve the plan.
The instructor suggested that the plan be more specific about the mitigation strategies that would be used for each risk. The instructor also suggested that the plan include a timeline for monitoring and controlling the risks.
Conclusion
This risk management plan is a living document that will be updated throughout the project. The plan will be used to ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.
Risk Register
The following is a risk register that lists all of the potential risks to the project, along with their likelihood, impact, and mitigation strategies.
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
| The project scope will change. | High | High | Regularly communicate with stakeholders to gather feedback and ensure that the scope is clear and agreed upon. |
| The project schedule will slip. | Medium | Medium | Create a detailed project schedule and regularly track progress against the schedule. |
| The project budget will exceed the approved amount. | Medium | Medium | Create a detailed budget and regularly track expenses against the budget. |
| The project will not meet the required quality standards. | Low | High | Develop and implement quality assurance procedures. |
| The project team will experience turnover. | Low | Medium | Create a positive work environment and provide opportunities for professional development. |
| The project will be affected by a natural disaster. | Low | High | Develop a contingency plan for dealing with natural disasters. |
