Assignment Content

1. Tony and his project team identified some risks during the first month of the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. However, all they did was document the risks in a list. They never ranked the risks or developed any response strategies. Because the project has had several problems, such as key team members leaving the company, users being uncooperative, and team members not providing good status information, Tony decided to be more proactive in managing risks and want to address positive risks as well as negative risks.

   Complete the following tasks:

   1. Create a risk register for the project. Identify 6 potential risks, including risks related to the problems described in the previous paragraph. Include negative and positive risks.
   2. Develop a 45- to 90-word response strategy for each risk. Enter the information in the risk register.
   3. Write a separate 175-word paragraph describing what specific tasks would be required to implement the strategy. Include time and cost estimates for each strategy.
   4. Submit your risk register with the response strategy and explanation.

      Note: A Risk Register template is available, but it is not required that you use it. 
       

 Choose one of the aphorisms listed above.  Who first wrote/spoke the aphorism or where does it originate?  What does the aphorism mean?  What is the author’s truth?  Why do you agree or disagree with the aphorism and how if at all has it made you rethink what you thought about the topic before researching the aphorism?  How could you apply this “wisdom” to your life?     

2. “If you want a friend get a dog.”  

3. “It takes 20 years to become an overnight success.”

10. “There’s nothing new under the sun.”  

11. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”  

12. “Less is more.”  

13. “Buy land.  They’re not making it anymore.”

 For composition exercises two and three please write: 1. (format) a 500-word composition.  Use Courier New, 12-point font and double space.   

2. (content) Your composition needs a main idea, major points and specific details.  Respond to the topic/aphorism in your first paragraph.  Present your main idea in the first paragraph.  Then use the rest of your 500-word limit to support your main idea.  You must cite from the material you’ve read to support your ideas. As Abraham Lincoln wrote, “It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.”  Use two-three quotes from the sources in your composition to “fit” your interpretation of the aphorism.  

3. (focus) Stay focused on the topic.  Everything you write should have a connection to the topic and your main idea.   

4. (clarity) When you proofread check for common errors like fragments, run-on’s, commonly confused words, tense shift, subject-verb disagreement, spelling, etc.  Try to adhere to the KISS Principle.  Keep your sentences short and simple and divide your composition into paragraphs.
