The Recovery Plan Project

Read the Recovery Plan project:

Van Wyk, Bowen, Akintoye. (2008). Project risk management practice: The case of a South African utility company (Links to an external site.). International Journal of Project Management, 26(2), 149-163.

Examine the project management issues detailed in the case, including those concerning procurement, contracts, and risk     management.

In no more than one page, give an overview of the case and the project management issues to be covered in more detail.

Discuss, in logical order, the following topics: (Note: You must determine the logical order of these topics; this is part      of your grade. See the grading rubric in this week’s folder.)

• Risk identification
• Risk assessment and prioritization
• Risk response for prevention
• Mitigation or contingent actions
• The fundamental conceptual steps used to respond to   project risks
• The strengths and weaknesses of the project risk management practices

In an appendix, identify the risks and categorize each one. (This categorization is left to you; however, you might include      external risks, such as regulatory and currency changes, or technical      risks, such as complexity or design.) You must discuss the appendix in the      body of your paper. In other words, do not simply say “see      appendix,” but rather explain what the appendix covers.

Discuss the prioritization of the risks identified their severity and the management response strategies
