Your IT consulting firm (NetScan, LLC) was contracted to install the IT infrastructure (cabling, servers, workstations, wireless APs, other hardware, software, network equipment, and internet connectivity) in a new 20,000 sq. ft. building for Blue Suit Consulting. The initial build-out includes 15 offices and a data center on a single floor, with the building ready to start the installation 4 months from now. Your CIO budgeted $32,000.00 for the project and expects completion in 3 months.

QUESTIONS:

1. Identify at least four events that could occur that would impact THE SCHEDULE of this project.

Provide a description of the potential events that could disrupt the schedule that you will list:

• Be SPECIFIC! Saying, "We might take longer," is NOT an appropriate description! Why might the project take longer? (Taking longer is a RESULT, not a cause.)

2. Identify at least FOUR risks associated with THE SCHEDULE of this project. Keep in mind that you have two target dates in the scenario description

• Describe in detail how each risk will impact the Project. Be specific!
• State how probable the risk is: What is the likelihood of the risk occurring Low, Medium, or High?
• Scale the impact of the risks on the project: will the impact be Low, Medium, or High if the risk occurs?
• Provide the Risk Score for each of the four risks you identified: Multiply Probability and Impact
  • Low=1, Medium=2, High=3. Example: a Low Probability/Medium Impact risk has a risk score of 2 (1*2).
• Describe what the response Type for the risk is: Will you mitigate, transfer, or avoid it?
• Document your Response Strategy: Explain exactly what you will do to Avoid, Transfer, or Mitigate the risk. If you accept the risk, you should explain why you are taking no action.
• Document any assumptions you make in the process!
