Appendix 1 - Project 1 Specific Information (Please I need help)

Assume 1 month has passed since the start of the project

One month after the project started (but had not yet been completed); you sent a survey to the project team members to monitor the progress and identify any issues or changed circumstances. You also had a quick look at the project schedule (See Project Schedulespreadsheet) to check that everything was on track.

The survey showed that all activities were being performed as scheduled. However, the Operations Manager had recently received information from Native Bush Spices' legal advisors notifying him about upcoming data legislation changes. The CEO and Operations Manager have estimated the likelihood and severity of the risk posed by an inadequate privacy policy to be "4" each. The CEO has suggested that the Operations Manager do due diligence to understand how the new legislative requirements affect the website design.

Assume the project is now complete

After another period of time passed, the website was designed, developed and tested. You received the following email from the Operations manager:

Dear Risk consultant,

Thank you for managing the risks of this project.

Everyone who worked on the project was impressed with your creative communication. However, most team members felt a distinct lack of detail regarding the risk response. The risk response in itself could be a mini project! In future, it would be great to see a "risk response plan" as part of your risk management.

Please will you develop a Risk Response Plan template for use in future project risk management?

Take a look athttps://www.northam.wa.gov.au/documents/708/sample-risk-management-planfor ideas.

Kind regards Operations Manager.

Appendix 2 - Project 2 Specific Information

Assume 1 month has passed since the start of the project

One month after the project started (but had not yet been completed), you sent a survey to the project team members to monitor the progress and identify any issues or changed circumstances. You also had a quick look at the project schedule (See Project Schedule spreadsheet) to check that everything was on track.

Unfortunately, not many customers responded to the marketing survey to determine the market demand and desired product range. All other project activities were going as planned. The CEO and Operations Manager have both estimated the likelihood and severity of the risk posed by unknown product range requirements to be "2" each. The CEO has suggested that the Market Manager source alternative information from the ABS website or by visiting health shops.

Assume the project is now complete

After another period of time passed, the project was successfully completed. You received the following email from the Operations manager:

Dear Risk consultant,

Thank you for managing the risks of this project.

Everyone who worked on the project was impressed with your attention to detail.

However, most team members felt that communication could be more frequent and creative. They also were unsure of whom to speak to about the project and its risks

- you, me or the person responsible for treating the risk. Please will you create Risk Management Communication Plan template for future use?

Kind regards Operations Manager.
