Assignment Details
Assignment Description
Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will
be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late
penalty in accordance with the late penalty
policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting
times are based on midnight Central Time.
Assignment:
In previous weeks, you selected a project around which to
develop your Risk Management Strategy and Plan Key
Assignment. In Week 1, you crafted a letter to the project
sponsor explaining the importance of project risk management.
You also determined the high-level steps for conducting risk
assessment and brainstormed on some of the
risk categories. In Week 2, you fully identified the individual
project risks and analyzed them by determining their likelihood

and impact. In Week 3, you determined the
mitigation strategies, which might include prevention, control,
or ignoring the risk. In Week 4, you developed a project risks
matrix with all of the information that you gathered
in Weeks 2 and 3, and you developed a risk monitoring and
control approach and plan.
Now you are ready to embark on adding all of the risk
management tasks to the overall project plan, as well as
producing a well-thought-out communications plan. In the final
week, you will also revise the Key Assignment draft document
based on feedback from your instructor and peers. Under the
last sections, which are not filled in, you will
develop a very detailed WBS, contingency budget, and
communications plan.
Deliverables:
The overall project deliverables are the following:
1. Update previously completed sections based on instructor
feedback.

3400 Chapel Hill Road
Suite 206
Douglasville, Georgia 30135
(404) 994-3585
In what setting do you practice? How long have you been
practicing?
I am in private practice. I work by myself, not in a group. I
have been in private practice since 2001. I have worked in
adolescent residential treatment settings on multiple occasions,
other professional private practices, and also with a nonprofit
substance abuse treatment center.
What are your specialties or areas of clinical focus?
My areas of clinical focus are couples and individuals. About
60-70 percent of my practice is focused on couples. I work with
all kinds of couples. Some are married, some not, premarital,
and same sex couples. The rest my practice consists of
individual clients, working with depression, anxiety, self-
esteem, grief and loss, PTSD, anger management, and spiritual
issues. I also work with adolescents in my private practice. I
do not work with children below the age of 12.
What are the most common disorders you treat?
Anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger management and grief and
loss issues. I also work with some Axis II disorders and the
most common ones there are narcissistic personality disorder
and borderline personality disorder.
Do you have any special certifications or training beyond your

original graduate coursework?
No, but I should have by Certified Professional Counselor
Supervisor by the end of the year.
How do you approach therapy or treatment? Do you use specific
modalities, techniques, or interventions?
I mostly use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I also
use many forms of motivational psychology and often use
Dialectical behavior therapy with many people, especially my
borderline clients. I also use many types of experiential/Gestalt
intervention when they are appropriate.
What ethical and legal issues do you think are the most
challenging or common?
The most common ethical issue that most therapist run
across is the one of dual relationships. Many therapists find
themselves in the same community as their clients and my run
into them at church, grocery store, or at their own child's
school. There has also been a growing issue with social media
and online counseling and the ethics regarding how to handle
these new areas of practice. I think the most common
legal/ethical issue after this is the one around suicide and how
to handle a client that is threatening this. Many therapists
struggle around if and when they should attempt to intervene
and break confidentiality.
Do you have an opinion on where you think the field of
psychology is heading?
I think that many therapists will attempt to move towards
an online, the mental health model. However, I have not found
that to be the case with my practice at this time. I am finding
few client wanting to meet over the phone or via video
conference. The ones I have met with this way have found it
not as productive or personal. However, it may do well for
those with social anxiety or some type of Asperger’s or Autistic
disorder. I also hope that psychology will move to more of a
preventive and "coaching" model to help people before mental
health issues interfere with their life and they feel like they
need to pursue counseling. I hope we can educate the public at

large the need to be proactive about their mental like they
hopefully are about their physical health.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
the thing I enjoy most is seeing clients "light bulbs" turn
on and they understand something for the first time about how
and why they are doing or making the decisions they have. It is
also very rewarding to listen to clients pass on what they have
learn to others they know. This hopefully helps all those
connected to my client!
What advice would you provide an aspiring psychologist or
therapist?
Find out who you want to be as a therapist. The most
important thing about being a therapist is you. More important
than the set of skills you have, the type of theory you want to
apply, and what you have learned is who you are as a person.
Be yourself and do what works for you in your sessions and
with people. I find that people appreciate real, honest people,
who they can connect with. Be in therapy yourself. If you are
going to practice it on others, do it for yourself. I would not go
to therapy with a therapist who has not been in therapy.
I am sorry to hear about your loss of loved ones. If you are
looking to gain insight and see if that is where you want to be
volunteering is a great way to find out. We had a man come by
in my bachelors program from hospice searching for people to
volunteer.

Assignment Details
Overview:-
Risks fall in a few categories, known and unknown. It is
extremely important in any project to effectively plan for both
with a contingency budget and resources because some
will happen. In this class, you are asked to develop a Risk
Management Strategy and Plan that identifies potential risks,
ranks them by impact and likeliness, contains
mitigation strategies, and includes a way to control and
communicate them. You will select a project that you may have
developed in a previous class or a known project in
your organization to create this strategy and plan for.

Throughout this course, you will be working on developing
several components of a final Key Assignment. Additional
information and the deliverables for each Individual
Project will be provided in the assignment description for this
project.
In this first Individual Project, you are asked to develop the outl
ine of the sections that will be included in the “Risk Manageme
nt Strategy and Plan” document and a draft of a
proposal to submit to your instructor. The other information you
will include is a high-level description of the project you will
be conducting the risk analysis on.
You will also be setting up the final Key Assignment outline
that you will add to each week. The combined Individual
Project (IP) assignments will be your final Key
Assignment deliverable.
Project Selection:
The first step will be to select a project that you to develop a
risk management strategy and plan for. This project will be used
as the basis for each of the assignments
throughout the course and should conform to the following
guidelines:
1. Nontrivial: The selected project candidate should reflect a
real-life project that has at least the major milestones identified.
2. Domain Knowledge: You will be applying knowledge of this
project to address assignments related to identifying and
analyzing risks.

Select a project that fits these requirements, and submit your
proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the
assignments in the course. Approval should be
sought within the first few days of the course. Your instructor
will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification
will be given for project approval.
Assignment:
Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use
