iii. Risk response planning
A risk can be threat or an opportunity. Action plan is worked out for each of the “top risks” (high priority risks), by finding ways to reduce or eliminate threats, and find ways to make opportunities more likely or increase their impact. Work involves in identifying response. Responses can be Avoid, Accept, Transfer, Contain and Reserve. Mitigation or Contingency Plan should be worked out. This plan needs to have greater details for high impact risks. Risks also need to be assigned to the owners, where required. Risks that are low on priority are left out of response planning activity. These are “residual risks”. New risks that result from the implementation of the contingency plans for the primary risks are also

For example, your team have determined a new technique by which the project duration can be reduced by 20%. To exploit this, the technique is used in the project and when other team members are trained on the new technique there can be substantial saving in the project.
• Enhancing a risk involves identifying the root cause of a positive risk so that you can influence it for a greater likelihood of the opportunity occurring. For example, in order for you to get a business deal, your workforce needs to have substantial new skills. You can enhance the opportunity by building new skill.
• Sometimes exploiting a positive risk is not possible without collaboration. Sharing a positive risk is when you collaborate with others to exploit a positive risk. With this collaborative strategy, both parties benefit.
As a threat
• A risk can be avoided. For example excluding a specific part of deliverables from the contract, which you find high risk for you to

Once the risks analysis and assignment of actions to mitigate them is updated, the project manager should:
• Regularly track risk plan and keep it current. This might result in adding, changing, or removing containment actions. The project manager and the team must implement and track the risk management plan.
• Communicate the risk management plan status to the team members and other stakeholders. The plan must be made clear to the sponsor and to the reviewers during project reviews.
• Review the risk triggers. Confirm if any of the risks has occurred.
• Reassess risk sources on a regular basis. Check if there are any new risks resulting from changes in the technology, project, organization, or resources and update the plan with the new risks.
• Evaluate the defined risks on probability of occurrence & severity. Update the plan on the actions
The last step in a risk management plan is to evaluate the risks. This is a learning step and works to provide experiences gained form working with risks. This evaluation should consider all aspects of the plan and identify best practices. The evaluation should answer the questions pertaining to how the project team did, what could be done better, what lessons were learned, and how can best practices be incorporated into the risk management process. This risk evaluation helps to influence how the organization will plan, prepare and commit to future risk management plans.
Indeed, Project Risk Management includes the processes of conducting risk management planning, identification, analysis, response planning, and controlling risk on a project. (PMBOK Guide - Fifth Edition, 2013).
A typical Risk Management plan (RMP) has five steps – Plan, Identify, Assess, Respond, and Monitor. As we discuss the five steps in details, it would be evident that they hold good in every set up in a business – be it IT or non-IT environment.
Therefore, the risk process places a high emphasis on risk workshops, initial risks, and how risks are identified throughout the course of the project. The next two sections describe different methods of identifying risks.
After discovering the risks it may determine the risk tolerance. This is the level of tolerance that is about the risks that may occur (Heldman, 2011). Within a project refers to the level of risk tolerance that can be tolerated by putting in perspective the benefits that occur when taking that risk (Heldman, 2011). Project Manager depart a game of the budget as a contingency reserve. This is used so that in the event of any problems the project is not affected. It is a reserve that is intended to be used in case of emergencies, which can not be addressed through another type of risk (Heldman, 2011) management strategy. Manager can use several strategies to respond to the risks. Strategies to respond to negative risks are: acceptance, rejection, transfer, mitigation (Heldman, 2011). Acceptance is face the risk and accept the consequences of the risk already...Risks can have a positive impact, and for these the project manager uses
Risk management is a process for identifying, assessing and prioritizing risks of different kinds. Once the risks are identified, the risk manager will create a plan to minimize or eliminate the impact of negative events. A variety of strategies is available, depending on the type of risk and the type of business. There are a number of risk management standards including those developed by the Project Management Institute the International Organization for Standardization the National Institute of Science and Technology and actuarial societies. Organizations uses different strategies in proper management of future events such as risk assumption, risk avoidance,
Risk mitigation would allow the project manager to know the project’s strengths and weaknesses then evaluate the threats facing the project. The project manager would implement different strategies such as lowering exposure to threats or improving strengths of the project to make sure that the variance in schedule and cost is not very high when there are risk event occurrences. A risk mitigation strategy ensures that the project manager, the implementing team, and the project’s stakeholders are on the same page in the project implementation job. It also gives the project team an opportunity to address risks in advance so resolving additional issues becomes easy when the issues occur later during the implementation of the project. Moreover, the risk management strategy would fine-tune the parameters used for measuring the results of the project (Kerzner,
Write an initial draft of the risk management plan as detailed in the instructions above.
Our implementation plan mainly focuses on five risks, which are compliance risk, strategic risk, credit risk, operational risk, and financial risk. The corporation has established risk management committees to assess and manage the corporation’s exposure to the above risks. Then, the committees will prioritize these risks and establish guidelines for risk management processes. After that, it will assign the management of some risks to appropriate operating departments or individuals. The management process and department control activities are monitored by the committee and board of directors. However, each individual within the company has responsibility to identify and report potential risks to their managers.
Risk management is an ongoing process that must continue through the life of a project. It includes processes for risk management planning, identification, analysis, monitoring, and control. These processes need to be reviewed throughout the project’s lifecycle as new risks arise throughout the implementation of the project. It is the objective of risk management to decrease the probability and impact of events adverse to the project. On the other hand, any event that could have a positive impact should be exploited.
The purpose of the risk management plan is to identify any event or condition that may occur which could have a positive or negative affect on the project. Risks management is the process of identifying, assessing, responding to, monitoring, and reporting risks. The Risks Management Plan will define how risks associated with the Baderman Island Casino Hotel project will be identified, analyzed, and managed. The plan will outline how risks management activities will be performed, recorded, and monitored throughout the project. The plan will also provide a template and practices for recording and prioritizing risks.
The risk management plan defines what activities within the organization are critical to operations. During this stage of planning, Wilma Stone, Margie Nelson, Gary Thomas and other Sunshine Machine Works Management personnel will need to determine how much of a risk the organization is exposed to and create a plan to minimize the amount of damage the exposure could have. Other stages of the risk management planning process will include the likeliness of the risk happening, what the consequences will be, and which risk are considered priority.
In Plan risk process, the main objective is to define how to carry out all risk management activities. This process is very important as of it depends the success of the other five processes, thus it has to be a carful and precise planning. “Planning risk management is important to ensure that the degree, type, and visibility of risk
The project manager work with the owner of this project and the project team in order to actively identified, analyzed and managed throughout the construction process. The project manager will identify risks as soon as possible to minimize their impact on the project. Risk Identification, Risk Analysis and risk response are the steps that are the project manger must use to accomplish the risk management process with out or minimum impact on this construction project.
The Risk Management Plan has been created in the Planning Phase of the project and is monitored and updated till completion. Monthly Reports should cover what effects any risks have caused to the project and what can be done on a daily bases to keep the impact of effects at its lowest at all times.
