INTRODUCTION
This document is the Risk Management Plan for the <project name> project, defining the risk management process to be employed throughout the life of this project. The project manager is responsible for reviewing and maintaining this Risk Management Plan throughout the project to ensure that the risk process remains appropriate to deal with the level of risk faced by the project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
<Brief description of the project, including its background and purpose>
The scope and objectives for the <project name> Project are summarized as follows:
• <list all objectives, including time, cost, scope, quality, performance, functionality, reputa- tion, business benefits, safety, etc.>
<Comment on relative prioritization of project objectives>
AIMS, SCOPE, AND OBJECTIVES OF RISK PROCESS
The <project name> project risk management process aims to manage all foreseeable risks (both opportunities and threats) in a manner that is proactive, effective, and appropriate, in order to maximize the likelihood of the project achieving its objectives, while maintaining risk exposure at an acceptable level.
“Acceptable risk” is defined for the <project name> project as <clear definition of how much risk is acceptable to key stakeholders such as the project sponsor, perhaps in terms of how many “high” threats can be present in the project, or maximum acceptable Threat P-I Score and minimum acceptable Opportunity P-I Score, or extent of allowable delay or additional cost>.
The risk process will aim to engage all project stakeholders appropriately, creating ownership and buy-in to the project itself and also to risk management actions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Risk Management
ØRisk
• Uncertain or chance events that planning could not overcome or control.
ØRisk Management
• A proactive attempt to recognize and manage internal events and external
threats that affect the likelihood of a project’s success.
• What can go wrong (risk event).
• How to minimize the risk event’s impact (consequences).
• What can be done before an event occurs (anticipation).
• What to do when an event occurs (contingency plans).
3. 7–3
Risk Management’s Benefits
Ø Minimize management by crisis
Ø Encourage proactive management
Ø Minimize surprises and problems/negative consequences
Ø Gain competitive advantage
Ø Decrease overall probability of project variances
Ø Increase probability of project success
Ø Improves chances of reaching project performance objectives within budget and on time.
Ø Focus on building the right product the first time
Ø Prevent problems from occurring, or if they occur, from escalating/better control in future
4. DEFINITIONS OF RISK, RISK TOLERANCE
AND UNCERTAINTY
Ø Risk is a very crucial integral part of project management.
Ø Unforeseen that never be static
Ø Projects are prone to risks and often incorporate new techniques and procedures,
and risks have to be identified from the start.
Ø Effect of the uncertainty on objectives.
Ø As the cumulative effect of the probability of uncertain occurrences that may affect
the project objectives.
Ø Uncertain event or condition occurring which can certainly affect project objectives
( positively or negatively)
Ø Unmanaged risks are mostly the primary cause of project failure.
5. RISK AND UNCERTAINTY
RISK
• is concerned with objective probabilities
• can be assigned a probability value
UNCERTAINTY
• requires consideration of subjective
probabilities
• uncertainty is completely immeasurable
• defined as the sum of the unknown and
unknowable aspects of the project, the
consequences could threaten the achievement
of one or more project goals.
• It is the intangible measure of what is not
known about the project
6. Uncertainty and risk should not be defined only in terms of threats to
success but also in a broader sense to include having potential
positive outcomes.
Risks = Unfavourable events/outcomes , lack of knowledge of future
events /conditions – negative risks
Opportunities = future events/outcomes that are favourable to a
project - positive risks
2 types of risk

10. RISK TOLERANCE
• Risk tolerance: the specific maximum risk that an organization is willing to take
regarding each relevant risk. Risk target: the optimal level of risk that an organization
wants to take in pursuit of a specific business goal.
• Risk tolerance can be defined accurately if we really understand the manager’s
inclination towards risk-taking of good and bad outcomes.
• It is a subjective notion that is influenced by many circumstantial attitudes towards risk.
• Risk tolerance concerns both the probabilities of inherent risk occurrences taking place
and the resulting impact of those occurrences.
• Risk tolerance is very important in a sense that it leads to more efficient use of
resources because the project team has a better understanding of how much of the
project’s risks should be remedied.
11. DEVELOPING RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN
ØRisk management plan provides documented guidance for contract risk
management process which includes conducting risk assessment from all
perspectives and other contract activities inclusive of contract risk as well.
ØRisk assessment should be performed at the initial stage during planning as well
as at relevant intervals throughout the project to ascertain potential project
risk impacts with the intent to either remove the risk threat or to plan actions
that reduce the impact in the event of risk occurrences.
15. RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk assessment component can be divided into risk identification and risk analysis.
Generally, the risk management plan documents the risk management process.
The purpose of this practice is to provide the project manager, project team and other
relevant stakeholders with an approach to develop the planning documentation that is
needed to conduct risk management activities across all contract stages.
16. RISK ASSESSMENT
It should address the following:
(a) The personnel responsible for managing the various aspects of the project and
contract risks;
(b) Specify how the initial risk identification, analysis and prioritisation of output
will be maintained;
(c) State what the specific response strategies are, including any contingency
plans to be implemented; and
(d) Whether a management reserve for such plans will be allocated.
17. RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN
The risk management plan is usually developed during project planning (planning
phase). The plan and its content can be reviewed and updated throughout the stages or
phases of the contract formation until the project is completed.
However, in the risk management plan, a brief summary of the process that leads to the
contract and references to source the documents will be the main content apart from
risk management process and activities embedded within. In short, the plan should
include a resume of the risk management plan which will define all the scope and areas
in which risk management applies, particularly the risk types to be investigated.
21. CONTRACT RISK MANAGEMENT
FRAMEWORK
Successful contract outcomes are more likely to be the result of defining and
managing activities according to a logical and structured contracting process
framework suitable for the proposed activities.
Figure : Risk management framework in contract management
22. (i) Identify the need of
the contract and the
extent of risk
assessment required.
(ii) Plan the contract
process and set
criteria.
(iii) Develop the type
of contract, conditions
and specifications so
that there is clarity in
risk identification.
(i) Invite and receive
offers:
(ii) Evaluate offers:
(iii) Negotiate and apply
due diligence:
(iv) Finalise and award
the contract.
(i) Manage the
transition:
(ii) Manage the
operation and evaluate
performance:
(iii) Review contract
options (Complete,
extend, renew):
23. RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Risk management requires a proactive rather than a reactive approach. It is a
preventive process designed to ensure that unpredictability is reduced and any
negative consequences associated with unwanted events are minimised. The risk
management process supports decision-making in all steps of the contracting process
and aims to enhance assurance that the contract has adequate specifications and
terms, the right contractor is chosen and key risks are managed at all stages.
Managing risks in contract management requires an understanding
of two factors:
(a) The risk management process itself; and
(b) How risk management is applied to the contracting process. The
management of risks is required throughout the contracting process because
the nature of risks being managed will differ along the process
24. Figure: Risk management process
Figure shows the steps that
need to be embedded and
practised in the risk
management process.
The clear boxes indicate that
the process is likely to occur
regularly, while the dotted
lines indicate the possibility
that the contingency planning
might occur.
25. RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
(a) Step 1 Establish the Risk Context
The clarity on internal and external risk context is very crucial in this step as
organisations operate in an environment of risk. The same understanding
and clarity should be applied across all internal processes in the organisation
whilst including contract management. Internal risk context is defined as the
internal environment within which the organisation seeks its objectives
whilst external risk context refers to understanding the external environment
in which the organisation operates to enable the recognition of what
potential risks may exist.
26. RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
(b) Step 2 Risk Identification
The risk management process begins by generating a list of all the possible risks that
have the potential to affect the project. The brainstorming session and other
problem-identifying techniques to identify potential risks have to be pulled together
to ensure this step can be done efficiently.
28. Risk analysis
(c) Step 3 Risk Analysis
Risk analysis, on the other hand, involves developing a clear understanding about
an identified potential risk. In carrying out the analysis, the probability and
impact of the risk will be determined via various techniques.
Documentation of risk analysis can be done in various templates but must be
documented together in a risk management plan.
29. (d) Step 4 Risk Evaluation
Risk evaluation is actually part of risk analysis as it is a further in-depth analysis to
evaluate the overall risk rating of each risk and to decide which risk poses a higher threat
to the project.
(e) Step 5 Risk Treatment
In this step, the project team explores the options available for the project manager to
reduce the risk profile of each risks identified which will be subsequently monitored.
This step also contains the rating of risks in the risk register which include details of:
(i) The rating of risk probability;
(ii) The impact of the risk;
(iii) The overall risk rating; and
(iv) The scale and weightage that will be applied to all project risks.
30. Step 6 Contingency Planning
This step involves the use of alternative plans if a possible foreseen risk event
becomes a reality. It represents actions that will reduce or mitigate the negative
impact of the risk event. The contingency plan only materialises after the risk is
recognised and becomes an issue. Contingency planning evaluates alternative
remedies for possible foreseen events before the risk event occurs and selects the
best plan among alternatives.
31. The Risk Management Process
Step 1: Risk Identification
Generate a list of possible
risks through
brainstorming, problem
identification and risk
profiling.
Macro risks first, then

2.Avoiding Risk
3.Transferring Risk
4. Retaining Risk
Contingency Plan :An alternative
plan that will be used if a possible
foreseen risk event actually
occurs.
Step 4: Risk Response Control
Risk control :
• Execution of the risk response strategy
• Monitoring of triggering events
• Initiating contingency plans
• Watching for new risks
Establishing a Change Management System
• Monitoring, tracking, and reporting risk
• Fostering an open organization environment
• Repeating risk identification/assessment
exercises
• Assigning and documenting responsibility for
managing risk
32. Risk Response Development
• Mitigating Risk
Reducing the likelihood an adverse event will occur.
impact of adverse event.
• Avoiding Risk
Changing the project plan to eliminate the risk or condition.
• Transferring Risk
Paying a premium to pass the risk to another party.
Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) provisions.
• Retaining Risk
Making a conscious decision to accept the risk.
RISK RESPONSE
33. • Risk response planning phase is to develop suitable responses to the identified risks which
are appropriate, achievable and affordable.
• Risk owners are also allocated accordingly to each risk response.
• This is to be responsible for strategy implementation and for monitoring its effectiveness.
• This significant phase of the risk response planning is very important since a majority of
decisions are taken at this point that will directly affect the risk exposure of the project.
• And critical for this phase to also deal effectively with opportunities in addition to the
threats, if the associated profits, values or benefits are to be realised by the project and
the organisation respectively.
RISK RESPONSE
