alternatives to traditional face-to-face and voice-to-voice communications;
however, communication is a two-way activity.

Discuss with your colleagues your ideas on how the communication model
applies to today’s communication techniques. Include the following in your
discussion:



  • What is the role of the sender and receiver or encoder/decoder in
    e-communication today?
  • How do you decide what type of communication tool to use?
  • What do you consider when selecting an e-communication channel in a
    professional environment versus a social environment?
  • What are some of the things you anticipate from the receiver or decoder side
    of the model today? For example, the expectation of a speedy response via
    instant messaging or the lack of spontaneity when using e-mail versus

Risks can occur as a result of both known risks,such as
for newer tasks there may be a learning curve that causes delays in the delivery
of a task, and unknown risks, such as events like an earthquake or
tsunami. Also, some suggest that they take calculated risks, where
careful consideration is taken before taking on a challenge. Risk management, in
essence, is doing the same thing in a more formalized process. The discussion
assignment for this week will be an evaluation of how risk management can be a
contributor versus an inhibitor to a project.


 

The following Discussion Board task will assist you in evaluating various
types of risk. Research at least 2 sources (which may include your textbook) to
support your response.


 


  1. Describe a project that you were involved with, or are familiar with, and
    the types of risks (at least 5) that occurred.
  2. How were these risks handled or mitigated?
  3. When the risk occurred, what impact did it have on the overall project, such
    as from a cost and schedule-deadline perspective?
  4. If a risk management process was not in place, explain why it may have
    helped. If a process was in place, did it help, and why?

Overview:-


 

Risks fall in a few categories, known and unknown. It is extremely important
in any project to effectively plan for both with a contingency budget and
resources because some will happen. In this class, you are asked to develop a
Risk Management Strategy and Plan that identifies potential risks, ranks them by
impact and likeliness, contains mitigation strategies, and includes a way to
control and communicate them. You will select a project that you may have
developed in a previous class or a known project in your organization to create
this strategy and plan for.


 

Throughout this course, you will be working on developing several components
of a final Key Assignment. Additional information and the deliverables for each
Individual Project will be provided in the assignment description for this
project.


 

In this first Individual Project, you are asked to develop the outline of the
sections that will be included in the “Risk Management Strategy and Plan”
document and a draft of a proposal to submit to your instructor. The other
information you will include is a high-level description of the project you will
be conducting the risk analysis on.


 

You will also be setting up the final Key Assignment outline that you will
add to each week. The combined Individual Project (IP) assignments will be your
final Key Assignment deliverable.

    real-life project that has at least the major milestones identified.
  2. Domain Knowledge: You will be applying knowledge of this
    project to address assignments related to identifying and analyzing risks.

your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course.

instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will
be given for project approval.


 

Assignment:

basis of your Key Assignment. You will also create the shell document for the
