Accountability Impact Matrix

Working to understand the risks a project may endure along with the cost associated is critical in every project management plan. Understanding potential risks based on the project type, resources needed, timeline and budget still leaves gaps that creates uncertainty for actually predicating the outcome of the project. There is not a true way to predict when and where a project risk will occur but designing a plan to properly address and manage those risks will increase confidence while eliminating the element of surprise.

risks and determine the likelihood and consequence of that risk occurring during the project. The

Identify a minimum of 10 project risks and when each will occur in the project life cycle, and then determine their impact and probability of occurrence.

It is used as a means of input to the risk management plan processes (Heldman, 2005). It usually helps the project managers and the project team to recognize the components of a project that are at risk or certain risks that are unique to a specific area of the project than compared to a risk that is commonly found throughout the project. There also various qualitative analysis that can be used to in identifying and analyzing risk in a project. The method of qualitative risk analysis involves the assignment of a numeric value to the scales. This risk analysis is normally used for projects that are larger and that risks have a greater and more significant impact (Heldman, 2005). There are various software tools and methods that can be used, an example would be the use of Monte Carlo analysis for calculating values for projects that are large and difficult. There are various values that are assigned to the magnitude or intensity of the risk, for example, High-.80, Medimum-.50, Low-.10; these are used to rate and prioritize the risks (Heldman, 2005). A risk registry is also an essential documentation that can be used analyze the quantitative aspect related to risk and threats that are found throughout the project. The Risk Breakdown Structure is created to identify the various risks categories in the project so that they can be in the prioritized response plan (Heldman,

In the risk register it covers the category, response, and ranking of each risk. When thinking of a big project the company has to address which risk is most likely going to happen and how to prevent it. When looking at the excel spreadsheet it shows the

Accountability refers to the perception of holding an individual responsible for his or her decisions or actions. Accountability standards and accountability are integral components in the every industry especially health care discipline. Organizations desiring to succeed in whichever industry must always establish structures that encourage employees to be accountable. This study shows that accountability in the healthcare industry is not a matter of choice but something that must be observed at all times. This may act a form of encouraging and motivating employees at the workplace.

After the risk assessment tool was used to evaluate the risk to the organization, an appraisal of all potential risks were identified, for the initial part of the project through brainstorming. The following are risks that have been identified initially for this project:

* Sufficient testing is not conducted. It is unknown whether the system can handle the information volume

(TCO 7) Once an active risk is encountered and the risk register action is taken, what can develop from that action?(Points : 15)

Defined by Coopers textbook, risk is the exposure to the consequences of uncertainty and has two elements: the likelihood of something happening that has an impact on the project objectives, and the positive or negative consequences of something impacting the project objectives (Cooper, Grey, Raymond, & Walker, 2005)

Project Risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives such as scope, schedule, cost and quality. All initial assumptions are, in themselves, risks until they are agreed upon by the project stakeholders. The project risks of Aptus Learning Landscape are present in critical success factors / measures of success ( stated in project charter), initial assumptions of project ( stated in project charter) and also in the risk register of ATL construction works. We thoroughly analyze the construction risk stated in the risk register enlisted at the end of this chapter and observe that none of the risks possess a high likelihood of increasing the budget substantially or affecting the time schedule in a negative way. They are all known, internal and negative risk, and can be easily managed by closely coordinating, monitoring and controlling activities of team members. As these risks have low impact, we are keeping them as watch list.

The matrix will include a high level risk assessment and will take into accounts such things as the likelihood of a successful attack against a target system and include information such as the risk per site, per phase and per system.

Advancing from level 2 to level 3 requires using a risk register. 'The Risk Register is a tool to assist Project Managers in identifying likely sources of risk and the impact they may have on achieving objective. ' (Government office from the North West,2008). The first step is a brainstorm session to identify risk that may affect the project. It is important that the risks are clearly defined so that the risk is understood clearly and can be tackled. Secondly, consequence and probability of risks need to be rated (e.g. 1-5) and define each rating by their impact or likelihood. Finally, multiply the ratings of consequence and impact, rank the risks from highest severity to lowest severity. (Government office from the North West,2008). Every risks should be assigned to a risk owner which is responsible for managing the risk, a risk response to minimise both the likelihood and impact of the risk and a target completion date for the mitigation. Regular risk reviews need to be done because risks might emerge or become no longer relevant constantly. However, the impact

For the Starbucks project, the risk evaluation matrix used to identify the various risks that may affect the project, the level of impact on the three constraints, the probability of risk occurring is done by effectively minimizing risk to ensure that key risks are identified and responses to these risks can be made

In this paper, the subject of database security is explored. Having a solid comprehension of database security should be considered a requirement within any organization. Data is a valuable asset for organizations and must be protected. An event can have adverse effect on a database system and must be considered a threat. This paper explores and introduces the reader to common threats to database systems and how to counter such threats. There is a strong need to control and manage data contained within a database system, and it is the role of the database management system to ensure that data is kept secure and confidential. The security of databases is more crucial today than it ever has been. Inadequate database security
