Question: Select any project from your current work environment ( or previous work environment ) that is suitable for the application of the risk management concepts

Select any project from your current work environment (or previous work environment) that is
suitable for the application of the risk management concepts covered during this course. Prepare a
Word document of 6-8 typed pages and save as pdf before submission (use a 12pt font and single
spacing). Any diagrams or charts should be posted in the document and submit one document only.
Section A (60 points)
1. Provide a scope statement, one-page work breakdown structure and a one- page Gantt chart
schedule for the project selected. (10)
2. Identify 12-15 risk events that could affect the objectives or outcomes of the project. A
balanced set of risks should be selected e.g., technical, safety, people, and program risks.
Provide a clear description of each risk event. Show the list of risks as numbered bullets or
table. (15)
3. Perform a semi-quantitative risk analysis, also providing an explanation of the scales used. A
full quantitative analysis (0< P <1) can be used as an alternative. (5)
4. Plot the risks on a suitable risk map/chart and draw an appropriate threshold line that
separates the risks in an 80:20(approximately) ratio. (15)
5. Name the risk events you would select as the critical risks (give the numbers of the critical
risks as in question 2 above).(5)
6. Write response(s) or controls for the critical risks. Each response should be described using the
words avoid, reduce, redundancy, transfer, etc., and an explanation of what will be done.
(10).
Section B (10 points)
7. A 7-point risk analysis produced the following 20 risk values: 10; 49; 1; 28; 5; 8; 9; 36; 20; 2; 4;
2; 6; 1; 3; 1; 7; 10; 1; 5. Using the Pareto prioritisation method, determine the critical risks for
this data. Show the calculations. (6)
8. Determine the risk leverage factor for the following 4 cases and indicate if the control will be
financially viable. (4)
