Exercise 5 Risk Identification, Assessment, and Mitigation Exercise 1 Initial Meetingwith the ExecutiveSponsor CMU has been awarded a P250 million grant for an innovation research project that is scheduled

to begin in 6 months.

In preparation for this project, your project team is responsible for coordinating the relocation of 78

people into a new work space and for ensuring the office space is move-in ready.

The office spaceneeds to be ready for occupancy in 5 monthsto allow themove to occur during month 6 so everyoneis in place for the official kickoff of the P250 million innovation grant. The 78 people arecurrently located in two different buildings on campus.

The design of the new space includes the use of portable cubiclewalls/work spaces, laptop computers, cell phones, and extensive use of electronic storage to maximize the flexibility and mobility of the space as differentfloorplans/layouts are anticipated throughout the grant research. The university has already contracted the construction work which includes removing some existing internal walls to open up the space, adding flexible electrical connections, and extending wireless access. Based on prior efforts, the estimate for construction is approximately 2 months. A

3-month lead time is required for delivery of the modular furniture.

The remodeling/move project budget is P20 Million. The majority of the budget is for remodeling

and purchasing of office furniture and laptops.

Ifthe office design is a success, it is anticipated otherareas on campus could be converted to a similar design during the next 2-5 years. It is anticipated this design could save considerable costs and provide additional flexibility for project teams
