Tasks to be performed

1. Risk Identification

Document all possible risks to the event in list form even if they seem funny. Do not list risks that are not within the scope of this project. Risks that should be excluded are risks that occur off the wedding property or risks that take place before or after the wedding day.

When all of the risks have been listed, you must then evaluate the risks listed. Both the probability and the impact of each risk are to be evaluated. The impact or the probability of each risk can be evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10. A value of 0 means that there is either no impact or a zero probability for the risk. A value of 10 means that the probability for the risk is 100%. Risks that have an impact or probability of 0 are insignificant and can be eliminated from further consideration. Risks that have a probability of 10 are a certainty and should be included the top risks.

Table 1: Risk identification

Risk	Probability	Impact	Total
It could rain during the wedding ceremony or reception	5	5	5

2. Ranking all identified Risks

Looking over the list of identified risks and their severity, mark the rank of the 10 highest severity risks.

For your top five highest severity risks determine what you need to do for them from a risk strategy perspective (Risk avoidance, Risk acceptance, Risk mitigation, Risk transfer)

Consider mitigation strategies of reducing the probability or the impact or both.

Transfer and avoidance strategies can also be used. .
