Assignment title: Information
Your company Getronics Consultancy has recently been awarded the contract to manage and deliver Australian Eagle's systems replacement project. You are a specialist IT/Systems Project Manager who has run many projects of the nature of Australian Eagle's one and much bigger ones. You have learnt from your experience, networking with Project Management professionals and reading about the need for effective risk management when managing and delivering IT/Systems based projects. In your role as the delivery assurance manager at Getronics Consultancy you need to regularly do project health checks to ensure the project is being run properly by your company and that Australian Eagle will get the agreed deliverables and outcomes from the project. The project is about 15% progressed so you know this is a good time to conduct a quick review of the project and meet with many of the projects stakeholders to see how the project has been established and is running. Additionally Lucy, the CEO at Australian Eagle, has been alerted by her own reading and networking of the importance of good risk management in projects like the one her company is going through. She has asked that you specifically focus on project risk management and include a brief summary of what project risk management is in your report. Using your extensive research, most recently including some insights gained from the attached articles and your experience in large systems-based projects to help your client you must: Method of submission: 1. Write a brief description, as requested by Lucy, of what project risk management is; 2. Write up the expected outcomes of a project review assuming good practices were in place – ie what would you expect to see in the project that would confirm that effective risk management processes are in operation? This could also be considered a recommendation of how Getronics Consultancy will apply effective risk management.
