2.1 Planning
2.1 Planning
In the first session we talked about there are five process groups.
Planning is the second,
process group we're going to discuss. We've figured out what the project
is,
then looks like this. And we'll put a plan together to figure
out, well, how do we make that happen? And talk about some of the key
tools and
concepts in this. One of them, we're gonna talk about risks. We have to
look at risks to figure out
what could go wrong with the project, because sometimes the risks in
the project will actually determine some of the tasks we have to put into
the project.
There are just going to be some risks. You're not gonna get away from
them. Risks, every project's going to have them. The idea is to know
about the bad ones up front.
There are a number of different ways to analyze risks, just find one that
you like and use it. Use at least oe of these things.
Risks are the things that may or may not happen. These are things that
might just jump up and surprise us once in a while. Surprise, happened.
Or, maybe it didn't happen. So, things that may or may not happen.
Positive risks, those are the things that we try and figure out, yeah, that
was great. How do we get that to happen again? [INAUDIBLE] just
enhance those. Make those available somehow to happen again. We
want to try and find out how to do that. It's just kind of like blind luck.
Take it and run. Be happy with it.
Negative risk, those are the ones we're gonna talk about, working with
here.
We're gonna talk about two elements when we analyse this risk.
Now, there's another element to look at, triggers. Can we tell when
something's going to happen? When we see it coming at the project. The
triggers are the things that tell us if something is coming toward the
project, or has it actually hit the project and it's already affecting the
project.
So these triggers are a good way to help us figure out how we're going to
implement our risk management plans, and what kind of risk
management plan will be effected.
