Please respond to the following:

  3. Risk concerns both positive and negative aspects of an event. Analyze why it is important to consider both perspectives when addressing risk for an organization. Include an example to support your response. · Evaluate how threats and opportunities can be used to an organization’s advantage when developing the risk management plan. Argue the value of having a risk strategy despite the cost associated with it. Include an example to support your response. · · ******************************************* BUS 519 Week 1 DQ 2 Planning for Risk For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Week 1 Discussion 2 Top of Form "Planning for Risk" Please respond to the following:

  4. · There are three schools of thought regarding risk. The first considers the positive and negative aspects of risk, but sees them as separate. The second group believes that there are benefits from treating threats and opportunities together, while the third school does not label uncertainties, but addresses uncertainty as part of “doing the job.” Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Respond to another student’s post (ground students will discuss their positions). · Choose a project with risks and select one approach from Part 1 of this discussion for the project you chose. Provide a rationale for your selection and determine how this approach helps the project to be successful. Be sure to identify the project you have selected ******************************************* BUS 519 Week 2 DQ 1 Need for Risk Management For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  5.

Determine three (3) obstacles for an organization to manage risk effectively. Suggest strategies from the perspective of a project manager to avoid the obstacles ******************************************* BUS 519 Week 2 DQ 2 Critical Success Factors For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Week 2 Discussion 2 "Critical Success Factors" Please respond to the following:

  6. · There are four critical success factors that are important for effective risk management: supportive organization; competent people; appropriate methods, tools and techniques; and simple, scalable process. Predict the outcome of a project if any of these critical success factors is absent for a project. Support your predictions. · Recommend how you would approach the stakeholders of the project and persuade them that the missing critical success factor(s) must be addressed in order to maximize a successful project. Support your response. ******************************************* BUS 519 Week 3 DQ 1 Project Initiation For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Week 3 Discussion 1 Top of Form "Project Initiation" Please respond to the following:

  7. · One of the most important aspects of managing risk for a project is to accurately define the size of the project. Determine the criteria that must be considered to perform the project sizing and create one additional factor with rationale. · Suppose the size of the project was not determined correctly and a large, complex project was defined as a medium project instead. Predict the outcome of the risk management process within this organization.
