Risk Management Problem Analysis Paper

There are three alternatives that serve as the best course of action to solve the problem at hand which is, the people making key decisions underestimated the complexity and risk involved which contributed to the DIA project being initiated too late. The key decision makers had a limited understanding of what was involved and lacked the necessary knowledge and expertise to advise appropriately and make good decisions. That lack of knowledge, combined with the fact that expert advice was routinely ignored, were part of the failure mode. Proper risk management planning would have allowed the PMT to decide how to approach and plan activities in the project plan better such as accurately estimating the complexity of the project in addition to the effort involved or that needed to be involved. Performing the necessary planning to address the risk of not having the necessary knowledge resources in place and involved in the appropriate project deliverables and decisions that were made is a key factor. For example, proper risk planning would have helped the PMT realize that more time would need to be built into the schedule to allow the automated baggage handling system to be …show more content…
This countermeasure would have helped address the problem at hand. The FMEA could have helped identify what the impact would be by not initiating the project early enough. This impact level would be in the form of a RPN (Risk Priority Number) assigned to the risk. This would have made it visible that this risk had a high impact level on the project objectives and would have helped determine that a schedule change was urgently needed to allow more time for the baggage handling system to be
