Outputs
• Risk management plan
Methodology:
In case of any risk we will be called on meetings between the
project manager and project team. First of all we analyze the
impact of rick on project, and then decide what method is the
best to cater the risk.
Approaches:
High-level plans for conducting the risk management activities
will be defined in meetings. Risk management cost elements
and schedule activities will be developed. Risk contingency
reserve application approaches may be established or
reviewed. Risk management responsibilities will be assigned.
General organizational templates for risk categories and
definitions of terms such as levels of risk, probability by type of
risk, impact by type of objectives, and the probability and
impact matrix will be tailored to the specific project.
Roles and responsibilities:
All the project team will be responsible for risk handling. Every
group member can play the role of identifying risks, but it is the
responsibility of the project manager to focus on the main risks
which might occur a big problem for the project. The formal
document will be prepared by the project manager after
consulting with team members and after identification of the
risks. And this document will be forwarded to the CEO so that
he would also know about the risks. If risks will not be handled
by the project manager then it will be the responsibility of CEO
to solve these risks.
Timings:
In this project we will perform risk management whenever risk
occurs.
Identify risks
Identify Risks is the process of determining which risks may
affect the project and documenting their characteristics.
