Project Risk Register

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 being ready to start the installation 4 months from now. Your CIO budgeted $32,000.00 for the project and expects completion in 3 months.

Your Assignment: Develop an initial Risk Register for this project.

As you have learned in the preceding weeks, there are many aspects of managing a project, and risks can arise in any of them. For this assignment, it is recommended that each team member focus on identifying events that could occur that would impact one of these aspects:

Schedule - you have two target dates in the above description Budget - how far does $32,000 go? (Note: your project is only to INSTALL the infrastructure, your client, Blue Suit Consulting, will pay for the equipment and materials) Staffing - you will need a team. What can go wrong? Stakeholder Management - you have a client to keep happy... Communication Management - Where are the risks to your communication plan? Procurement - Blue Suit is paying, but what can go wrong in the purchasing process? Quality - what events or factors can result in unacceptable quality? Integration - all of the above need to integrate and stay in synch.
