(Points : 5) Risk and impact Probability and urgency Impact and probability Decision trees and reliability of data Question 2. 2. (TCO G) You need to ensure your project is completed by July 1 of next year. You do not have time to do all the design work yourself, so you decide to contract out that work. Which type of contract would likely be best in this situation? (Points : 5) Cost plus Fixed price with economic price adjustment Fixed price with incentives Cost plus with incentives Question 3. 3. (TCO D) Which risk response strategy is most appropriate for risks on the watch list? (Points : 5) Transference Exploitation Passive acceptance Active acceptance Question 4. 4. (TCOs A and B) You have been appointed as a project manager for a high-dollar project for a government agency, and you have been asked by your boss to identify the stakeholder groups and the individuals who make up those groups in order to start the stakeholder analysis.

(Points : 20) Question 5. 5. (TCO B) As described, risks are inevitable. You are the IT Project Manager for a health care organization. Your project scope is to install a new patient health care system into your organization. You have just completed your planning session in which you identified positive and negative risk responses for those unavoidable risks you will encounter. Part 1: Describe the five positive risk responses you can choose from and briefly explain each one. Provide an example of one positive risk you may encounter and explain what positive risk response you would use to address the identified risk. (20 points) Part 2: Describe five negative risk responses and briefly explain the meaning of each one. Provide an example of a negative risk which will definitely impact the delivery date of the project by at least one month. Briefly explain the risk, potential impact, and the negative risk response you would take. Explain why you choose this negative risk response. (20 points) (Points : 40) Question 6. 6. (TCO C) You are the project manager for a large health information technology project. You are confronted with an important decision on your project: How much scenario testing is appropriate for this project? Employ decision tree analysis to provide senior management with the best course of action for this decision. For this decision, you have three possible choices: no scenario testing of the design, moderate scenario testing of the design, or full scenario testing of the design. No scenario testing will incur no additional costs due to testing and has a 40% percent chance of a successful implementation. If it is unsuccessful, rework costs are likely to be $30 million. Moderate scenario testing will cost $5 million and has a 50% percent chance of success. If it is unsuccessful, rework costs are likely to be $30 million. Full scenario testing will cost $10 million and has a 60% chance of success. If it is unsuccessful, rework costs are likely to be $30 million. Which solution is appropriate for this project? (Points : 40) Question 7. 7. (TCO D) You are the project manager for an important healthcare project. You are performing qualitative risk analysis. Below are the values of probability and impact for the top six risks that were given to you by project team.
