Management Strategy and Tactics

Unit VI Project

Throughout all projects, there are positive and negative risks. A part of the risk management plan is to have a mitigation strategy for each type of risk. For this assignment, prepare a risk register for the Lucky Me Animal Rescue adoption event project.

For the first part of this project, you will use a spreadsheet to create a risk register. You must identify a minimum of 10 risks on the risk register.

The risk register should contain, at a minimum, the information described below.

-Identify and describe all possible risks.

-Describe the potential impact on project success for each risk.

-Provide the probability of the risk occurring, and prioritize each risk (rank from most important to least).

-Create a mitigation strategy for each risk.

In the second part of this project, you will research and examine how the project’s quality could be impacted by the risks you have identified. Discuss what steps or tasks you would perform, as the project manager, to ensure that the project quality does not suffer due to the risks. (Note: Specifically address quality impacts, as you have already addressed the overall project impacts from the risks in the risk register.)

In the final and third part of this project, you will summarize what controlling phase tasks will help you in managing the project’s time, costs, schedule, resources, and quality while responding to the risks identified in the risk register. Begin with an introduction.

Include examples of outputs, communications, or documents specific to the Lucky Me Animal Rescue adoption event project as you summarize the controlling phase tasks.

The second and third parts of the project must be a minimum of two written pages, not counting the title and reference pages.

You must use a minimum of two sources that are peer-reviewed or academic in nature to support your project, one of which may be your textbook. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including the title page and in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.

You may either insert your risk register spreadsheet as an appendix to the written document, or you may submit the risk register as a separate file in in the assignment submission area of Blackboard.

In Unit II, you have learned about the organizational structures and cultures that projects must operate in.

To prepare for this assignment, review Table 2.1 on page 23 of the textbook.

Your first task is to choose one of the three major organizational structures to associate with Lucky Me Animal Rescue.

The structure you choose to associate with the rescue is up to you, but keep in mind that it will continue to be the environment for your project as you complete the additional assignments in this course.

Next, you will write a proposal you can deliver to the rescue’s leadership and stakeholders to help them understand how the adoption event will be managed within the identified organizational structure.

The goal is to help them understand how their organizational structure will affect the project.

Your proposal should start with a very brief identification and description of Lucky Me Animal Rescue’s organizational structure.

You must then address how that structure will affect project characteristics. Refer to Table 2.1 in the textbook for a list of specific characteristics.

Finally, at a minimum, your proposal must also:

Examine the project manager’s role in the structure,

Explore how project communication will be conducted within the structure, and assess how project personnel and resources are affected by the organizational structure and how this can impact project progress and completion.

Your proposal must be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. You must use at least two sources to support your proposal, one of which may be the textbook.

All sources used must be peer-reviewed or academic in nature.

Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including the title page and in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. note that no abstract is needed.
