Solve the question : Tony and his team identified some risks during the first month of the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. However, all they did was document the risks in a list. They never ranked the risks or developed any response strategies. Because the project has had several problems, such as key team members leaving the company, users being uncooperative, and team members not providing good status information. Tony has decided to be more proactive in managing risks. He also wants to address positive risks as well as negative risks. The question is : assign a numeric value for the probability and impact of each risk on meeting the main project objective.

III. Risks and Feasibility This section of your report identifies risks and confirms the feasibility of the information systems development project. Project feasibility analysis verifies whether a project may be started and successfully completed. Your report should address the feasibility issues listed below. Start by clearly describing what issues are addressed by each feasibility category (see the relevant definitions in the textbook), and discuss the feasibility of the project with respect to each category. Determine organizational and cultural feasibility. This evaluates organizational and cultural issues to identify potential risks for the new system. See pp. 269–270 of the textbook for examples of potential issues.Note: the textbook does not provide an exhaustive list of possibilities!Note: ‘organization’ in this context refers to the Car Sharing community—all stakeholders, but particularly members and prospective members.

Eva Green is the director of Epic Systems Corporate, healthcare software company. In three months, a proposal is due for an electronic health record (EHR) system for Mercy Health Partners. For several years, Epic Systems Corporate has been developing new data mining system, a critical component in an EHR system that would be superior to any EHR currently on the market. However, progress in research and development has been slow, and Eva is unsure whether her staff can produce the data mining system in time. If they succeed in developing the data mining system (probability ), there is an excellent chance (probability ) that Epic System Corporate will win the $1 million contract from Mercy Health Partners. If they do not, there is a small chance (probability ) that she will still be able to win the same contract with an alternative but inferior EHR that has already been developed. If Eva continues the project, she must invest $200,000 in R&D. In addition, making a proposal (which she…
