Hello Class After reviewing each PowerPoint and video, I am more intrigued by risk management. Risk is everywhere around is, and projects are no exception. These risks can be minor, and some can be severe. To mitigate these risks shall they arise; risk management is part of project scheduling. Each activity in a project holds a level of risk. Some of these risks can include technology issues (computers freeze, network outages) or a failure of a machine affecting production/construction. It is important that when all activities are planned out the associated risks should be thought, expected, planned, and if needed, executed when the issues arise. I have been lucky enough to work with some project mangers and project engineers at work for the past three months. The entire process of creating the project scope, obtaining approval from the federal government, planning, and scheduling is complex that requires a lot of time, attention, and detail. For the past three months, we have been working on a massive project in Ohio. This lock and dam required a lot of maintenance work to keep the dams operational and safe. As more than 50 employees were working at the project site, one day an employee fell ill. Immediately, the employee got test for Covid-19 and the result was positive. Project managers and supervisors immediately started to determine whom the employee was around in the past few days. Luckily, the employee worked independently for majority of the project as required. However, as a precaution, multiple employees were required to isolate for 10 days. As less employees were working at the project, and the deadline in just a few days, it was very difficult for the project managers to figure out how to handle the situation. Since Covid-19 was with us months before the start of the project, Covid-19 was part of our risk assessment for the project. The only question I have regarding risk management is, if a situation occurs during the project that ultimately can negatively impact time, money, and resources, and the risk was not initially planned or analyzed, what exactly should project managers do? In this case, with a global pandemic, how can project managers ensure the project meets deadlines, within budget and reserve budget, while ensuring the safety of all employees, and following all federal guidelines? It seems that only certain risks can be identified, but how do serious risks like this example get planned quickly? Luckily, for all of us, we were quick to isolate and minimize further risk, but just the idea that all employees could have been affected would be troublesome. Thank you
