CMGT 442 Week 2 Individual: Risk Information Sheet The Stevens Company is converting from the SQL Server ® database to the Oracle® database. Using the sample shown below, create a Risk Information Sheet for at least five potential risks that might be encountered during the conversion. At least three of the five risks you choose should be project management related.
Risk Information Sheet Risk Description: Probability: Impact: Rationale: Risk Mitigation: Please note the following: The risk description should fully describe the risk The probability is the likelihood that the risk will occur (i.e., low, medium, or high) The impact is how the organization will be effected if the risk does occur (i.e., low, medium, or high) The rationale should explain the reasons for your probability and impact assessments The mitigation strategy should explain how each risk will be addressed There should be one risk information sheet for each risk identified The risk information sheets can be completed in Word, Excel ®, or PowerPoint® Submit the risk information sheets to the Assignment Files tab.
CMGT 442 Week 3 Learning Team: Risk Assessment Continue working on the Learning Team Risk Assessment. For each risk identified, assess the likelihood of occurrence, potential impact to the organization if it did occur, and based on these two factors, an overall risk level. For
purposes of this assignment, the team can rate each factor as low, medium, and high. For example, a risk/threat with a low likelihood of occurrence and a high impact would represent an overall medium risk. As part of this, a rationale for the assessment should be provided. Submit the risk level assessments and rationale to the Assignment Files tab.
CMGT 442 Week 3 Individual: Risk Information Sheet Your consulting organization has been hired to develop computer systems for the United Nations in the Middle East. Create a Risk Information Sheet for at least five potential risks that should be considered. At least three of the risks you choose should be business continuity and IT disaster recovery related. As part of this, consider man-made and natural risks that might apply to this particular situation. Please note the following: The risk description should fully describe the risk The probability is the likelihood that the risk will occur (i.e., low, medium, or high) The impact is how the organization will be effected if the risk does occur (i.e., low, medium, or high) The rationale should explain the reasons for your probability and impact assessments The mitigation strategy should explain how each risk will be addressed There should be one risk information sheet for each risk identified The risk information sheets can be completed in Word, Excel ®, or PowerPoint® The results of your assessment for each risk should be plotted in a Risk Matrix. One axis should be probability, while the other axis should be impact. The overall risk level will be the intersection of these two factors on the matrix. The risk assessment matrix can be completed in your choice of Word, Excel®, or PowerPoint®. The following is an example of a risk matrix with certain accidents allocated to appropriate cells within the matrix:
Negligible Marginal Critical Certain Likely
Stubbing Toe Fall
Possible
Major Car Accident
Unlikely
Aircraft Crash
Catastrophic
Rare
Major Tsunami
Submit the risk information sheets and risk matrix to the Assignment Files tab.
