This document outlines risks, mitigation strategies, and qualitative assessments for a project. It identifies 8 main risks from contamination to going over budget. For each risk, it lists controls, mitigation responses, and triggers. It then rates the probability of each risk occurring and its potential impact on a scale of 1-10. The risks with the highest qualitative assessments are contamination of materials/products and a team member testing positive for COVID-19, both with assessments of 80%. Other high risks include being unable to recruit enough volunteers and resources not being available. Corresponding mitigation strategies are provided.

1. Description Essay Format:
1. Identify Risks
2. Discuss Impact & Probability (Qualitative Assessment)
3. Mitigation Response
Risks (Ranked by Highest Impact):
1. Contamination of Materials/Products
2. Project Team Member Positive Symptoms for COVID-19
3. Unable to Recruit Volunteers/ Maintain Volunteers Needed
for Project
4. Resources Not Available (Qty) in Time Constraint
5. Quality of Product Does Not Meet Approval Criteria
6. Productivity Falls Behind Schedule
7. Project Exceeds Timeline
8. Project Exceeds Budget
Mitigation (Respectively):
1. Control: Weekly Medical Screenings | Sanitation Procedures
at Every Step | Providing Sanitation Equipment/Packages to
Volunteers
Mitigate: Release Team Member from Project | Temporary Shut
Down | Emergency Screening of All Staff | Thorough Sanitation
of all Materials / Contact | Trace Potential Contact Path
Transfer: Signed Release of Liability from Retailers,
Volunteers, Team Members and Stakeholders
2. Control: Weekly Medical Screenings | Sanitation Procedures
at Every Step | Providing Sanitation Equipment/Packages to
Volunteers
Mitigate: Release Team Member from Project | Temporary Shut
Down | Emergency Screening of All Staff | Thorough Sanitation
of all Materials / Contact | Require Negative Test Results
Reported
Transfer: Signed Release of Liability from Retailers,
Volunteers, Team Members and Stakeholders
3. Control: Monitor Recruit Sign-Up Daily | Social Media

2. Campaign | Volunteer Incentive Program
Mitigation: Launch Larger Campaign / Recruit | Borrow from
Other Organizations | Offer as Part of Community Service
Programs | Referral Program
Avoid: Reduce Scope and Deliverable Amount
Transfer: Increase Productivity Requirements of Volunteers
4. Control: Source Locally | Procure Multiple Vendor Options |
Track Inventory
Mitigate: Procure from National Vendor | Ask for Donations |
Restructure Distribution Plan (Resource Leveling)
Avoid: Reduce Scope and Deliverable Amount
5. Control: Daily Auditing of QC | Sanitation Procedures at
Every Step | Providing Sanitation Equipment/Packages to
Volunteers | Training for Volunteers and Communication of
Required Criteria | Inspection of Individual Masks
Mitigate: Reject Failed Products | Temporary Shut Down for
Re-Inspection | Emergency Screening of All Staff | Thorough
Sanitation of all Materials / Contact | Require Pass of Quality
Inspection | Bring in Outside Quality Control Organizations for
Inspection
Transfer: Signed Release of Liability from Retailers,
Volunteers, Team Members and Stakeholders
6. Control: Auditing SPI Daily/Weekly | Communication of
Productivity Requirements and Schedule to Volunteers |
Identify and Track Milestones | Compose WBS
Mitigate: Increase Productivity Requirements to Accommodate |
Cut to 1 Mask per Employee Instead of 2 | Recruit More
Volunteers | Repurpose Other Team Members | Initiate Crash
Schedule Response
Transfer: Ask Sponsor to Extend Deadline
7. Control: Auditing SPI Daily/Weekly | Communication of
Productivity Requirements and Schedule to Volunteers |
Identify and Track Milestones | Compose WBS
Mitigate: Increase Productivity Requirements to Accommodate |
Cut to 1 Mask per Employee Instead of 2 | Recruit More
Volunteers | Repurpose Other Team Members | Initiate Crash

3. Schedule Response
Transfer: Ask Sponsor to Extend Deadline
8. Control: Cutting Costs Using Volunteers and Sponsored
Location (Free) | Researching Most Affordable Vendors |
Sourcing Materials Locally | Tracking of CPI
Mitigation: Cut Costs in Budget Where Able | Fundraising
(GoFundMe) | Procure Additional Sponsors
Transfer: Government Funding or Grants
Triggers (Respectively):
1. Volunteer Reports Illness / Large Outbreak in Community
2. Positive Symptoms Detected / Large Outbreak in Community
3. Quantity Behind Demand in Daily Monitoring
4. Vendor Contact Unable to Fulfill Order
5. Complaint from Receiving Vendor
6. SPI < 1 During Weekly Audits (3-5)
7. SPI < 1 After Weeks 4-6 / Milestone Missed
8. CPI < 1 Weeks 4-6
Probability of Occurrence (Scale 1-10)
1. 8 (80%)
2. 8 (80%)
3. 6 (60%)
4. 5 (50%)
5. 5 (50%)
6. 4 (40%)
7. 3 (30%)
8. 1 (10%)
Impact to Project (Scale 1-10)
1. 10 (100%)
2. 10 (100%)
3. 7 (70%)
4. 7 (70%)
5. 4 (40%)
6. 3 (30%)
7. 3 (30%)
8. 1 (10%)

4. Qualitative Assessment = % of Probability x % of Impact
EXAMPLE:
1. 80% x 100% = 80%
5. 50% x 40% = 20%
