Assignment
Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 350-500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions with your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Note: This course may require the use of the Microsoft Project 2010 (or later) software application. The 2010 version and those released later are similar and suitable for the assignments. Please note the software is not compatible with Mac computers. When the course requires a project management software application, and in alignment with industry standards, CTU uses Microsoft Project. If you are using a Mac, you must find a comparable project management software tool such as Project Libre or OpenProject. Students who use a Mac should consider the best option to alternative software or use a PC with Project. An internet search for "Project alternatives for Mac" can provide many of these options. Students are expected to review the options and determine the best for success in the course deliverables. Communication with your faculty member early in the course regarding this issue or any others is strongly recommended.

• What is project risk management?
• What are the differences between agile project management and waterfall project management?
• Describe the differences between the handling of project risks in an agile environment and the handling of project risks in a waterfall environment.
• What do you think is the biggest difference between handling project risks in an agile environment and a waterfall environment?
