RM Plan 1: Identifying Risks and Opportunities
Come up with a topic for your RM Plan, with sufficient complexity where risks can be developed. These might be technical, financial, resources, etc. Also come up with a scenario, for example, you may select starting a business of your interest. The scenario might be to turn a profit within 1 year.
Based on your selected project you will write a plan that will describe how you will approach the process of identifying the risks and opportunities that face your project. This plan needs to include the following information:
1. Project overview that describes the following:
* Overall goals of the project
* High level assumptions for the project
* Analysis of the organizational environment
* Identification of the project stakeholders and their role in the project
* Overall risk tolerance of the stakeholders
* Success criteria for the project
* Estimated duration of the project with start and end dates
2. Describe the approach you will take for risk identification.
* Provide detailed rationale that demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of the approach you have chosen.
3. Identify the inputs you will use for the risk identification process.
* Provide detailed rationale that demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of each of the inputs you have chosen.
4. Identify the tools and techniques that you will use for risk identification.
* Provide detailed rationale that demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of each of the tools and techniques you have chosen.
5. Identify the output you will use to record and analyze the project risks.
