CPMGT 302 Week 1 Risk Management Small Group
Discussion
Discuss the role of risk management in the project planning process in small groups
by completing the related "Risk Management Discussion" learning activity.
Submit a response of 250 to 350 words in length summarizing your small group's
discussion of the role of risk management in the project planning.
A discussion summary is not a paper when you can assign sections out to team
members. A discussion summary is brief but first requires that you have a team
discussion. Everyone must participate equally and early in the week to earn full credit.

risk events

2. For each risk scenario - write a 50 to 100 word description on how you would document
and mitigate the risks you identified.

Worksheet
Risk Identification Scenarios
Review each of the following scenarios and identify the risk events, the probability of those
risks, and the impact of the risk events. Some scenarios may have more risks than others.
Scenario One
A retail firm has a project that is focused on expansion into third-world countries to sell
pharmaceutical products. The project timeline is, as always, aggressive. The scope is well
documented and understood by the project team and key members of the firm. The firm is
financially sound, with project funds secure; however, the stakeholders expect that the project
will pay for itself within 2 years of deployment.
Risk event
Probability of risk event
(1=high; 3=medium; 5=low)
Impact of risk event
(1=high; 3=medium; 5=low)
Scenario Two
A construction company has been awarded the contract to build a pipeline in Alaska. The
project timeline is of the highest priority because work can only be completed during summer
months due to adverse weather conditions. One of the suppliers of a key component has
longer lead time than is required to complete the pipeline, but may be able to deliver if the
construction company will pay fees to expedite. There are other suppliers, but these suppliers
are not on the construction company’s approved suppler list and it would take time to get them
approved. There is a huge penalty in the contract if the project is not completed on time.
Risk event
Probability of risk event
(1=high; 3=medium; 5=low)
Impact of risk event
(1=high; 3=medium; 5=low)

3. Scenario Three
A telecommunications company has just assigned you to be project manager for a product
improvement project. The scope statement of the project simply says, “Make this product better.”
The engineering team believes that they know how to make the product better and have ignored
ideas from the sales team. The project funds are secure, as the company believes that improving
this product will give them strategic advantages.
Risk event
Probability of risk event
(1=high; 3=medium; 5=low)
Impact of risk event
(1=high; 3=medium; 5=low)
