Risks fall in a few categories, known and unknown. It is extremely important in any project to effectively plan for both with a contingency budget and resources because some will happen. In this class, you are asked to develop a Risk Management Strategy and Plan that identifies potential risks, ranks them by impact and likeliness, contains mitigation strategies, and includes a way to control and communicate them. You will select a project that you may have developed in a previous class or a known project in your organization to create this strategy and plan for.
Throughout this course, you will be working on developing several components of a final Key Assignment. Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the assignment description for this project.
In this first Individual Project, you are asked to develop the outline of the sections that will be included in the "Risk Management Strategy and Plan" document and a draft of a proposal to submit to your instructor. The other information you will include is a high-level description of the project you will be conducting the risk analysis on.
