1. Project Overview –
Virtual PMO Services for PJM Students and Alumni
This project is one I have wanted to do for some time now – in
order to move it forward to our leaders for approval, it would be
very helpful to have an integrated plan to share for decision
making – a draft charter/ scope statement and workplan has
been created for this project. The next planning step is to
complete the risk work.
Project Background
Currently, each faculty within our PJM program shares a
number of project management templates used in their own
project management work for use within their courses. The
intent is to collect and share these templates across all sections
of a course so that all students have access to a number of
potential templates in that subject area and can then create their
own version of the template that best meets the needs of their
assignment projects. This will also store all templates in one
place for easy access – regardless of the course that one is in it
is convenient to locate other templates that might be helpful for
the work in any course.
We also would like to make this available to alumni of the
program – to allow them to benefit from our inventory of
templates and also to allow them to contribute templates to the
NU PJM community. This provides yet another opportunity for
industry alignment and maintains a connection with our
esteemed alumni.
This project is still considered to be at the beginning of its
efforts. It will be a visible project within the Northeastern
community – for faculty, current students and alumni.

2. Work to date – currently, there are many project management
templates floating around our program. There has not been a
coordinated effort to locate, vet and store these templates – nor
have we considered if there are gaps in the templates provided.
Work includes understanding the needs of faculty, students and
alumni and then creating a shared repository solution that will
meet these needs. At minimum, the project will identify all
available templates from faculty, reviewing these to ensure they
are comprehensive, clear and ready for use and well as to
review the inventory of templates against good practices in
project management and the PMBOK - and that there are no
copyright issues with posting on our shared site. Both faculty
and students near the end of the program should be included in
the review of the templates.
The shared site tool needs to be selected – this will require
understanding the needs of faculty, students and alumni as well
as standards to be followed in the IT constraints. The site needs
to be designed and the templates uploaded.
A process needs to be created and implemented for upkeep on
the templates as well as how additional templates are submitted
for consideration, vetted and the site updated.
• • •
Ÿ 1
A plan for transition and sustainment needs to be created and
implemented – how will students and alumni find out about this
site? Who do they contact if they have questions on the site?
Who will maintain it? It would seem that setting up an
internship or co-op opportunity for a PJM student to do this
work for 3 – 6 months and then transition the work to another
student would be an option.

3. I have provided preliminary information in the (very rough)
draft Scope Document, below. Preliminary planning has been
done – see the overview information below as well as the
attached (separate document) schedule. I have volunteered our
PJM 6015 course to build the risk management plan and risk
register for this work. This will finalize the draft plan for the
project for project review and approval.
Project Objective/ Success Criteria (Charter):
To design, build and implement a shared repository for project
management templates that will meet the needs of faculty,
current students and PJM alumni. In addition, to create and
implement an operating plan for the transition and sustainment
of the site.

Week 5 – Completion of Risk Management Plan (Week 1 Draft)
Overview and Rationale
In order to demonstrate proficiency with the content in this
course we will complete a number of different assignments to
validate
your learning – and allow you to implement relevant practices a
real-world setting.
Program Level - Student Learning Outcomes:
• Create a risk management plan to determine how both positive
and negative risks will be identified, analyzed and managed

13. • Articulate the value and benefits of creating an effective
approach to planning for project risk management
• Identify project related risks and their drivers by integr ating
best practices, tools and techniques
• Analyze risks using qualitative methods for the purpose of risk
exposure and prioritization and communicate their impact to the
stakeholders
• Analyze risks using quantitative methods for the purpose of
risk exposure and prioritization and communicate their impact
to the
stakeholders
• Recommend risks for risk response planning or watch list
• Devise a risk response plan based on appropriate techniques
and strategies that would meet
o Stakeholders’ expectations
• Execute the risk management plan to continuously monitor
risks and risk responses
• Describe how organizational and cultural factors may
undermine implementation of effective risk management and
develop strategies to
overcome these factors

14. Essential Components
This assignment provides the opportunity to review risk
management practices and complete the Risk Management Plan.
• For this assignment, we are going back in time in the project
risk management process - back to the start of this term and
building on the
draft of the Risk Management Plan.
• For Week 1, you drafted considerations for the Risk
Management Plan for your individual project. At that point, we
were not able to
actually write the risk management plan since we had not yet
reviewed the tools and techniques you would need to include in
it to create
it.
• As we moved through the term, we did review those tools and
techniques which would then allow you build a comprehensive
risk
management plan at project start - based on our conversations
on the risk management process.
• Now, we are going back in time - back to "project start" and
"pretending" that we have not done the risk work for this
project.
• You will create the risk management plan for the project
(assuming we are at project start) that reflects the breadth and
depth of how risk

15. work would be/ will be done on your project based on our
learnings this term. Again, to note, the risk management plan
would be created
prior to the development of the risk register, the actual risk
work and guides how the risk work will be done.
• Your risk management plan should connect to the formal work
done through our lectures, readings, and discussion boards, as
well as
other research you may conduct.
• The format for this Week 5 risk management plan is a Word
Document. Cite any sources. The writing style should be
concise and
straightforward. Please use a 12-point font.

Risk Management Presentation
This part of the term assignment is to create a presentation of
how you worked to create your Risk
Management Plan and Register over the term. This is not a
general presentation of risk management -
it is specific to the work you have done all term. If you would
like to introduce the concept at the start
of the slide, you may do that - however, the focus of this work
is how the risk work was done on your
project - what tools/ techniques/ processes were used, how they

28. worked, what you would do different
moving forward (see slide guide for details). This is your
opportunity to revise work done all term based
on instructor feedback as well as what you have continued to
learn from the course content and your
peers.
This purpose of this presentation is to present your risk work to
your peers for their review - this will be
posted to the DB at the end of Week 5 (Sunday night) and will
allow others in class to benefit from your
insights and perspectives. Students will both give and receive
feedback with classmates.
Given this, assume your presentation audience is a peer review
board. These folks "know" risk
management. In addition to sharing specifically how the risk
work was done, it is also the opportunity to
share lessons learned - to identify effective elements of your
work and provide insights into what else
might be considered. Consider answering the following
questions for your presentation:
Slide 1: Cover slide and your name
Slide 2 - Overview of project
Slide 3 - Key components of your Risk Management Plan -
subsequent slides will share the detail of the

29. risk management plan and your risk register. Be sure to explain
key parts that informed your risk work
that are not explained in slides 4 - 8.
Slide 4 - How were risks identified? The value of your
approach? What was difficult? Lessons for next
time?
Slide 5 - How were risk prioritized? How valid do your feel
this approach is? What does it it now
address? What was the risk threshold to determine if risks were
addressed or remained on a watch list?
Slide 6- How were risk response strategies developed?
Integrated with your other planning
components? Secondary risks added? Based on your risk
reassessment, do these actions add value?
Slide 7 - What is your request for Contingency Reserve? How
was it determined? Is it sufficient? How
will it be managed?
Slide 8 - How will risks be controlled? How will you ensure
that risk work continues through the project
and that the risk register is up to date?
You should use 2 - 3 risks to tell the story in Slides 4 - 7. This
is not a presentation of your complete list
of risks but rather your process with an example or two to be
shared.

30. Slide 9 - Value of Risk Management - how much better off is
this project based on the risk work? What
is left to be done?
Slide 10 - Be sure to include the necessary references and
citations (APA 6 format)
You have to provide detail notes for each slide that thoroughly
explain the work on each slide. This
information is to be written out in the notes section of the slide
as a script for the presentation - if
read out loud, would read as the presentation if given in person.
