Discussion

According to Kirk (2019), The essence of “Formulating Your Brief” is to “identify the context in which your work will be undertaken and then define its aims – this is the who, what, where, when and how.” It could be formal or informal as any project you think you must make it. This phase is where you create a vision for your work.

Why is it so important to formulate your brief for a data presentation? Discuss some ways you would implement to formulate an effective brief. What are some advantages to your methods? What are some disadvantages?

Practical Connection Assignment

 

Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment.

Requirements:

Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.

Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.

Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment.

You should NOT, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.

This assignment should not be a rehash of a previous practical connection assignment from another residency/course/student.

Risk Mitigation Handling Options

Mitigation Plan Creation

 

Keep the following structure in mind as you develop your mitigation plan. You want to avoid or transfer as much serious risk as possible and have a detailed mitigation plan for the remaining risks.

Risk Mitigation Handling Options

Write your formal Mitigation Plan and ensure you include the following components:

  • Understand the users and the needs of the users
  • Research what the experts say about the needed mitigation for every element. Include that support in your report.
  • Identify and evaluate recurring risks and explain in detail the plan to mitigate those risks
  • Identify and explain opportunities to improve the system in order to reduce the negative impacts of some events
  •  Propose a plan to promote collaboration and dialogue about risk management and mitigation planning
  • Ensure that your writing is professional, well-supported, and easy to understand for non-IT people
