Describe what each project success measure (from the textbook Exhibit 10.1) looks like on your example project. Identify at least three risks to each success measure, determine which are major risks, and for each major risk develop one or more contingency plan.

Create a risk register for your example project. Categorize each risk, list potential impact, and list potential responses (as in the textbook Exhibit 10.9).

For your example project, you can choose from this list of the most influential projects, or create one.

Describe what each project success measure (from the textbook Exhibit 10.1) looks like on your example project.

Identify at least three risks to each success measure, determine which are major risks, and for each major risk develop one or more contingency plan.

Identify whether the contingency plan is an avoidance plan (reducing the probability of the risk event), a mitigation plan (reducing the impact of the event), or both.

Facilitate a discussion with the sponsor and other key stakeholders of your project. Have them determine the relative importance of their priorities and document them as in the textbook Exhibit 10.2.

Perform a risk review for your example project.

Use at least three types of review as shown in the textbook Exhibit 10.8. Which of these types gave you the most useful information? Why?

Describe at least three common quantitative risk and change analysis techniques. Choose two of them and under what circumstances would you find each one useful?

Identify gaps and potential venues for improvement.Consider how effective your risk management process throughout the project was

This assignment requires you to prepare an Individual Report based on the group project work and

the Project Plan developed.

Your report should evaluate your project and review the way through which you managed it. You

need to reflect upon your presentation, evaluate your project outcome, your performance as

managing team and the decisions you took throughout your journey as well as your own individual

performance.

Effectively, you need to critically evaluate your project plan and the effectiveness of

the methodologies and processes you followed for managing the various aspects of your project.

For instance, consider how effective your risk management process throughout the project was

and to which extent RM was done according to standards of best practices.

Your analysis of your management practice against theory and best practices should enable you to

identify gaps and potential venues for improvement. This should lead to recommendations for

improving project management and ensuring success in future projects. You could also think of key

lessons that you, as an individual, are taking from the experience you had.
