Project Risk Assessment
Project Goals
-
Describe the business need, opportunity or problem that the project was undertaken to address – i.e., the project justification.
Project Deliverables
-
Provide a high-level list of “what” needs to be done in order to reach project goals. Describe deliverables using action words (verbs) such as deliver, provide, create, research, etc. Ensure deliverables are measurable so that it's easy to determine whether or not they have been successfully completed.
-
Risks that could impact project deliverables:
-
Are these risks expected or potential?
-
Expected risks are risks that are highly likely to occur (based on past experience or previous projects). Potential risks are risks that could occur, but are not likely to (still a possibility).
-
Are these risks critical or comfortable?
-
If the mitigation resources needed to combat these risks are INSUFFICIENT, these risks are CRITICAL.
If the mitigation resources needed to combat these risks are SUFFICIENT, these risks are COMFORTABLE. -
How will these risks be monitored?
-
Outline the mitigation plan for these risks:
-
Specific corrective actions needed?
-
Select the "Action" icon on the right to create a corrective action and assign it to an employee.
Constraints & Dependencies
-
List any constraints (potential factors that will impact the delivery or make it difficult to manage the project) on the project or dependencies on resources or funding to the project. Include time, cost, dates and regulatory issues as constraints or dependencies to the project.
-
How will these constraints and dependencies affect risk mitigation (or risk management)?
-
What are the general contingency plans for these constraints and dependencies?
Employee Participation
-
Have all employees been informed of the general contingency plans outlined in the previous section?
-
Are employees encouraged to raise risks (notify their supervisors when they identify a risk or when they notice a risk occurring)?
-
What are some of the risks raised by employees so far?
