A risk management plan is “a component of the project, program, or portfolio management plan describes how risk management activities will be structured and performed” (Project Management Institute, 2013, p. 560). For the purposes of this class, the risk management plan will contain the potential risk events that could impact a project, risk analysis results, risk response plans, and the methods of controlling risks.  Risks are events that can impact a project; by focusing on these potential events, project managers and other stakeholders can reduce the impact of these events on the project. For example, a risk for a hardware replacement project could be that the technology may change prior to completion of the project. One way to reduce the impact is to have contract terms with the hardware vendor to obtain the newest hardware.  By completing the project risk management plan in class, you will be able to understand methods of identifying risks, performing risk analyses, determining risk responses, and controlling risks.   Assignment Details   Part I  For this assignment, you will develop a risk management plan based on a project of your choosing.  Some examples of projects include the following: •Replacing computers in an office building  •Improving a claims process  •Developing a marketing strategy  •Building a bridge  •Taking inventory in a warehouse  •Creating a new software program for a bank   You can get ideas for projects based on your experiences.
