A project manager must determine which specific techniques are more applicable to risk evaluation and assessment process that, positively, impact the project. First, the project manager evaluates and assesses the risks, and then determines how to quantify or qualify each risk.

Finally, prioritize the risk to determine the most effective mitigation strategy. The key is to be able to compare the different types of techniques and determine their advantages anddisadvantages based on evaluation and assessment.

Insights may come from anywhere. The following anecdote might not necessarily be true, but the message rings true nonetheless: A tall truck tried to drive under a bridge and managed to wedgeitself underneath. It was thoroughly stuck. As adults pondered costly and time-consuming major modifications to either the bridge or the truck, a child who was among the onlookers said, "Hey,why don't you just let some of the air out of the tires?"

You never know who will have a solution to your problem. It is not always the experts who come up with the best ideas.

Introduction

This assessment includes developing a risk analysis and assessment for a risk management plan. Review the Risk Management Plan Template before beginning this assessment.Note: Developing a risk management plan for a project requires specific steps in sequence. Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

A risk matrix is a tool for categorizing potential levels of risk in a project. It facilitates risk mitigation and can help a project succeed.

Requirements

Microsoft Project is the recommended software for this assessment.
