Risk Management A process of identifying, analyzing and responding to risk factors throughout the life of a project is called Risk Management (Stanleigh, n.d.). Every Information Technology (IT) project should invest in being proactive rather than reactive. Someone should be identified to gather and minor risks, and work with the teams to develop mitigation plans for those risks associated with the future events. The following risks have been identified with the Omnitracs project.
Risks
Training Risk - If UDC’s employees are not properly trained on the Omnitracs product, tools, and processes, then morale could decline resulting in the loss of good employees. If the IT organization does not hire or properly train their IT staff to maintain

Planning Phase: identify and evaluate risks, develop a strategy, and identify risk activities (Indian Health Services, 2013). Execution Phase: execute risk activities, track and report progress, and review and reevaluate risk periodically (Indian Health Services, 2013). When evaluating risks, the project team should conduct an assessment to determine the importance and impact of the risk to the overall project (Indian Health Services, 2013). This can be done by using a rating system: Identify risks as either high, medium, or low for both probability of occurrence and the potential impact. Next, the risk should be assessed by using a numerical score to identify the likelihood of the occurrence by its potential impact (Indian Health Services, 2013). Using these techniques can prevent and/or mitigate those risks listed above. According to Michael Stanleigh, CEO of Business Improvement Architects “proper risk management will reduce not only the likelihood of an event occurring, but also the magnitude of its impact” (Stanleigh, n.d.) He also talks about how the outcome of the risk can either be acceptable or unacceptable thus, the project team can identify which risks must be mitigated or accepted (Stanleigh, …show more content…
Then, test the business continuity plan by having each team member walk through their components of the plan to identify weaknesses (Lindros, Tittel, 2016). Finally, review and improve the business continuity plan (Lindros, Tittel,

... recommendation is that better protection should be provided for the management of financial risk. Benkol could use the Net Present Value technique to cover that. Benkol also lacks a proper risk assessment method. Benkol does not use a risk assessment matrix, nor scenario analysis and probability analysis is done by the project manager using subjective assumptions. This can be refined by implementing proper probability analysis and risk assessment matrix.
These risks can be functional/ technical. Technical risks are those which would occur due to adopting an inefficient technology or infrastructure failure. Hence, a good information professional analyzes the available technologies and use the best suited one to mitigate risks. Functional risks would be running out of budgets, sudden change in business requirements and inability of employees to transform. Sudden change of requirements and limited budgets can be overcome by actively involving the customer during the planning and implementation phase. This is agile approach and enables the information professional to consider the new changes and work on their feasibility. It is also important to train the employees to use the newly adopted technologies for better
I will first of all define business analysis as a practice of enabling change in an organization setting, by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders. Business analysis help businesses do better, it identifies and articulates the need for and how change in organization’s work and hence facilitate the change. Business analysis identifies and defines the solutions that will maximize the value delivered by the organization’s stake holders. The process of business analysis begins with the orientation were we get to understand or get the feel of what’s underway. Clarifying roles and determining primary stakeholders to engage in defining the project’s scopes and business objectives. Next in the process is to define
NSIT 800-30, Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems. This document describes a forma approach to risk assessment that includes threat and vulnerability identification, control analysis, impact analysis, and a matrix depiction of risk determination and control recommendations. When security professionals apply a qualitative or quantitative risk assessment, an organization management can begin the process of deciding what steps, if any, need to be implemented to manage the risk identified in the risk assessment. There are four general approaches to risk assessments (Gregory, 2010):
Analyze the problem - identify the root causes of the problem and use charts and diagrams as needed.
The problems start to develop prior to this point but normally the responsibility for failure is laid on the low-quality of the training support package, the problem is compounded by the organization that is receiving the training not ensuring that the main supervisors from that department’s where the new technology is headed aren’t included in training. This happens in most instances due to the organizations unwillingness to cut the supervisors lose to go to training or mandating that the supervisors go to training.
This paper will reflect on the different uses of Project Risk Management and ways in which it can benefit organizations to have the ability to identify potential problems prior to the problem occurring. Risk, this is not something to be taken lightly whilst dealing with matters that include high end projects meeting specific details, deadlines and expectations for the end client. Project risk management teaches one to be aggressive early on in the phases of planning and implementing the tools for a project. This is usually easier as costs are less and the turnaround time to solve the issues at that present moment is beneficial rather than later. The result in a successful project for one’s self and other key people involved in the process is also another requirement. Stakeholder satisfaction is important because the
In addition, Silvers (2008, pp. 4) state that event risk management should be focused on the areas of ‘legal and ethical responsibilities, health and safety, loss prevention, emergency preparedness, and good decision making’. Besides, according to Berlonghi (1994), the widely accepted risk management process is establishing the event planning context, identifying the risks, analysing and evaluating the risks, assessing the options into avoid, reduce, accept or transfer, implementing options and then reviewing the whole risk management
As the first step, identify potential risks plays a crucial role in the risk management process. The core purpose of identifying risk is to figure out causes of risk and analyze result caused by the risks and its probability . Hence, risk identification can begin with the source of problem, or with the problem itself. The chosen method of identifying risk may depend on culture, industry practice and compliance. The identification

Identification of the risk can simply be done by doing brainstorming with the team members. As Dr. McCarville said, there is no right or wrong answers. Every input is important and can really affect the process. Other beneficial tool is Fishbone Diagram.
