INSTRUCTIONS

Create a starter risk register for the two projects (A and B) described below. Include at least 6 risks for project A

Project A

Description

Building a garden shed. This includes the design of the shed, sourcing all the materials required for construction, and putting all of the various pieces together to get the finished shed.

Outcome

A finished garden shed.

Proposed Tasks

There are going to be certain tasks that depend on others. Youre going to need to:

• Get a set of blueprints for the shed and clear and prepare the area for construction
• Source all of the materials for the construction
• Prepare the foundation and start constructing the beams of the floor
• Lay the floorboards
• Construct the frames of the walls and raise and fit each of them
• Frame the roof and attach the roofing
• Fit in all the siding for the walls
• Fit in the windows and the doors

From this, its obvious that you wont be able to start fitting the walls until the floor is in place or start work on the roof until walls have been raised.

Stakeholders

Besides yourself and those living in your home, your team can be neighbors, or friends. Youll need to lead them and give them direction on the tasks you want them to do. Outside risks include bad weather or the hardware store not having certain items or being closed when you need it.

Timeline

For a project like this that is relatively simple, the timeline depends on how large your team is. With 10 people working on a garden shed, it could be finished in a matter of hours, but doing it alone may take 2-3 weekends of time.
