Project risk analysis

Risk Executive Summary

The purpose of this document is to explain the kind of risks and their impact in the project, so, we can have positive risks (opportunities) or negative risks (threats).

For this analysis we will focus on threats, as we understand the importance of the risk management, we will use the “Risk register” tool to identify risk accordance to the work execution, this tool will be available in a shared folder to all team members, because all of team members are responsible of risk identification.

To achieve this, we are including in this document the information indicated below:

• The process that has been implemented by the project team to identify and mitigate the threats
• Risk mitigation strategies
• Frequency of risk review and who will be the responsible of do it
• Roles and responsibilities of risk management
• A complete risk register containing all the risks identified for the project, the grading and the response of those.

Risk Identification Process

• All team members are responsible to identify and document the risks in the template defined as soon as they identify it.
• The risks that have to be used as base, are all the risks identified during initiation stage

• The categories that will be used to identify the risks are:

1. External risks: This category include all the risks that cannot be managed by the project team and we can breakdown in the sub-categories as below:

1. Environmental factors
2. Legal factors
3. Social factors
4. Political factors
5. Contractual factors
6. Business factors
7. Economic factors

1. Internal risks: In this category include all the risks that are managed by the project team, and we can breakdown in sub- categories as below:

1. Design factors
2. Materials factors
3. Construction factors
4. Administration factors

• Once the risks are identified must be indicated in the “Risk register” and in a weekly basis will be reviewed by the Project Manager and the team
• Based on that, will be develop strategies to mitigate and respond to the risk

Analysis and Evaluation of risk

Risks will be evaluated determining the likelihood of a risk or threat being realized and the seriousness  if this occur, so in that way we will use the table showed below:
