Explain why is it critical to establish categories for incidents and their impact on projects or operations, and how the response levels for risks, from avoidance, mitigation, transfer, contingency, share, accept, enhance or exploit, and the implications of each action taken or response towards integrity of projects and final outcome or delivery.

Using your ongoing project
scenario for your Signature Assignment, construct your risk register and risk
matrices. The Project Management Docs Portal, sponsored by PMI, provides sample
templates or formats to develop your risk register and risk matrix. Microsoft
Excel can also be used to complete this assignment.
The risk register in its most
basic definition is a log (table, spreadsheet, matrix, etc.) where identified
risks are logged on the register along with impact and corrective actions or
countermeasures taken to mitigate them for future reference. A sample risk
register is shown below:

Date

Risk Description

Table 5.1: Sample Risk Register
The risk matrix, or risk
assessment matrix, is developed and used to define and reference the likelihood
or probability of a risk to rise or happen during project execution, set levels
to classify risks, and recommend action depending on the likelihood and impact
of the defined risk. A sample risk matrix is shown below:

Levels
Non-Significant
Low- Significant
Moderate
Critical
Catastrophic – Disaster

Once you have completed your risk
matrix and risk register (populated with data, that is, issues or incidents,
along with action or response was taken and resolution), synthesize further
escalated risk considerations related to technical information and innovation
management projects. Provide a concise response that extends the key risk areas
deserving special attention beyond generic projects. As you discuss the risk
matrix structure, explain why is it critical to establish categories for
incidents and their impact on projects or operations, and how the response
levels for risks, from avoidance, mitigation, transfer, contingency, share,
accept, enhance or exploit, and the implications of each action taken or
response towards integrity of projects and final outcome or delivery.
Include recent scholarly sources
(published within the last 3 years) to provide support for your position and
identify areas requiring further research. Note that this assignment requires a
synthesis of issues; it should not be a mere summary of the reading.
Submit your paper where you will
insert the risk matrix and risk register as part of Sprint 4 of your Signature
Assignment—Risk Management Plan as part of the Project Plan.
Length: 5-7 pages, not including
title and reference pages
References: Minimum of 5 scholarly
resources published in the last 3 years.
The document must observe APA formatting
specifications for citations and references using the most recent APA
standards. If templates were used for the risk register and matrix, they must
be cited using APA standards for citations and references at the bottom portion
of the tables.
