Hello,
I wrote this for my previous class which I am retaking. I need help rewriting this and making it sound completely different while delivering the same information.
Recall a project that you have participated in and name at least one risk that was recognized before it happened.
Risk is defined as "an uncertain situation that threatens the full completion of a project or project task" (Barkley, 2014, sec. 14.1). A project that I have participated in, was a recent project, where renovations were completed at one of our locations. The back of house, kitchen area, had one walk-in or a refrigerator unit that was working and another that was not working. Beside both of these units, was the mop sink and dish pit area. The renovations were being done because water was making its way into the walls and coming through the other side, into the restrooms. The project was to remove the walk-in that was not working and make repairs to the walls that was allowing the water to seep through. The risk that was recognized before the project happened, was not knowing what was behind the walls. We were not able to determine if there was mold and mildew or if the structure of the walls were damaged beyond repair and needed to be replaced/rebuilt completely. The uncertain situation with this project, was not knowing if we needed to include mold remediation and or costs to rebuild or replace the structure of the walls.
What, if anything, did you do to mitigate the risk?
In order to attempt to mitigate the risk, we dispatched the vendor to perform a complet and through site survey. This was able to be done, as above the walk-ins, there was space, where the vendor was able to look down beside the walk-ins and see between the walls of the walk-ins and the mop sink and dish pit area. At this point, the vendor was able to determine if there was any mold and or mildew growing inside the walls. As far as the structure of the walls, there was an employee closet that had double doors on it to close the closet off from the guests. Inside this closet was employee lockers that backed up to the main wall, which backed up to the walk-ins and was beside the restrooms. The vendor removed the lockers and removed a piece of the wall, so they could look inside the walls, to survey the structure of the walls. After the survey was completed, the lockers were placed back, which in turn covered the area in the wall that was removed.
Was there a risk that emerged that was not seen in advance?
The risk that emerged that was not seen in advance, was the root of the issue was found. When the vendor removed the piece of the wall to look inside, he found the floor to the walk-ins, mop sink and dish pit area, was higher than the restrooms and actually sloped towards the restrooms. This, along with the floors not being sealed properly, is what caused the whole issue of water leaking into the restrooms.
What effect did it have on the project?
The effect of the risk that emerged that was not seen in advance, was the projected cost and time allotted for the renovations, increased to accommodate the repairs to the floors, the mold remediation and the rebuilding of the structure of walls.
What was a lesson learned from the surprise event?
The lessons learned from the surprise event, was one, ensure the initial work of the building contractor, is done, as per design and plans and two, to not project any cost for a project and then make plans around the projected cost/time, until all of the details are received and facts known. This is also known as performing a qualitative analysis. Qualitative analysis "is an in depth analysis of the quality (instead of quantity) and is used to help us understand something (Charles & Mertler, 2002).
