Risk Matrix Pm586
Week 5 Project
RISK MATRIX A risk matrix is a simple way of ranking, different potential projects in terms of their potential benefit and the likely risks or costs in implementing them. Some projects may be very attractive in terms of potential benefits that they offer but have serious implementation difficulties. Others may be low value in impact terms but be easy to implement tomorrow. Ideally firms will want to choose a balanced portfolio of short and long-term, low-risk and high-risk projects (http://www.managing-innovation.com/tools/Risk%20Assessment%20Matrix.pdf). I chose this paragraph for my opener because it shows the delicate balancing act that all businesses must comply with. Every day a company has to decide between what project would be the best to undertake. Risk is one of the important factors that must be considered. With the Huntsville, Alabama plant I identified a few areas that may be an issue. The first one was rain. With any construction project rain will be an issue. For some areas rain is a major issue but I felt as though 35% was a pretty good estimate. Not too high or low. This is why it is important for the project manager to monitor the weather forecast days in advance. If a torrential down pore is expected an action plan needs to be in place. Another area identified was road construction. This is a bit easier as road construction is planned years in advance. It would be beneficial for the project manager to have the detour information or alternative routes planned out in advance. These routes would need to have adequate signage displayed so there is no risk of getting lost and possibly delaying the project. Another risk identified that could cause problems and was put in the medium range is design problems in building construction. This risk could be decreased by examining design flaws before construction when the task is being evaluated. Discovering a design flaw during construction after it causes a problem can

    Risk or threat is common and found in various fields of daily life and business. This concept of risk is found in various stages of development and execution of a project. Risks in a project can mean there is a chance that the project will result in total failure, increase of project costs, and an extension in project duration which means a great deal of setbacks for the company. The process of risk management is composed of identifying, assessing, mitigating, and managing the risks of the project. It is risk management that drives the decisions that may affect the development of the business capability and also the management of the project. . Issues differ from risks, as risks relate to the events that could be revealed or emerge and end up affecting the project's scope, budget, business performance, management objectives and schedule. Risks are measured in accordance to their most probable chance or chances of occurrence and the way that they can impact the program (Hillson & Simon, 2007). Risk can be defined as any kind of trepidation that could significantly impact the capability of the project to meet its scope, budget, change management, business performance objectives, and schedule.…

    Before developing a risk management plan an analysis of risk needs to be performed. This analysis should include all aspects of the project that may be part of an uncertain event or condition that may have a positive or negative effect on the project objectives and outcome. The overall goal is to work to address any type of risk before they become problematic. Analyzing and relaying the level and probability of the risk to the stakeholders, sponsors and project team can help in reducing mistakes that can be cause for project failures. Some common mistakes that can be overlooked when analyzing risk, is not understanding the benefits of a risk management plan, not allowing time for risk management, not properly identifying and assessing risk.…
