Order Description
The concept of ‘risk’ is complex in theoretical terms. It is also complex and complicated, especially in terms of how we are to manage it in projects. How can we define what we mean by ‘risk’ and how can it be managed successfully in large and small projects? You are required to critically analyse the concept of risk; discuss how it can be measured and ranked and outline how a project risk management strategy may be constructed for a project. In completing this assignment you should discuss both theoretical and practical risk management strategies and how these can assist in minimising risk for your project.

Few notes for writer
Question: How many risks should be on a qualitative risk analysis for the assignment?
Answer- it depends but 8 to 10 risks would be a good number, then you could classify the risks under different headings and assess them perhaps
Question: Do I do a qualitative risk assessment for ONE of my examples, including identification of risks; scoring of risks with estimates of probability and impact and justifications; ranking of risks; risk controls including transfer; accept, reject and mitigate; re-scoring of risks and the production of a risk matrix and risk register?
Answer is YES
Please use an example of a completed Project, i.e. Emirates Stadium construction
