4. Revision History  Each document you create will have its own revision history.  Groups of small changes can be inserted together as one revision.  Always indicate every section that has changed in the revision history  Give very brief descriptions of each set of changes (examples on previous 2 slides) Janice Regan, 2008-2014 4

5. 5 Risk Analysis  A risk is a potential problem that would hinder the progress of an activity/project if it were to occur.  To identify risks need to ask: What could happen that would make our project late?  Mitigate identified risks by making plans that detail how to avoid the risk or recover from the risk

6. Janice Regan, 2008-2014 6 Action Plan A set of steps that eliminates risk before the activity/project commences. What When Before the risk occurs!

7. Janice Regan, 2008-2014 7 Contingency Plan A set of steps that reduces the impact of risk once it has occurred during an activity/project. Wha t When

8. Janice Regan, 2008-2014 8 Risk Analysis  Let’s consider an example:  We are planning an awards dinner for a the participants of a programming competition.  What can go wrong?

9. Janice Regan, 2008-2014 9 Consider our example  Not enough food for all the participants.  Action Plan 1: Estimate the maximum number of attendees and order food for that many people.  May be expensive if not all participants attend

10. Janice Regan, 2008-2014 10 Consider our example  Not enough food for all the participants.  Action Plan 2: Send invitations with an RSVP. Order enough food for those who reply, plus a small additional amount (some may come even if they did not reply)  Will better estimate the amount of food needed  OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

11. Janice Regan, 2008-2014 11 In Class Exercise  Choose a partner  Discuss your term project  Identify some risks  Provide a contingency plan to mitigate one risk  Provide an action plan to mitigate one risk  Turn in 1 page with a summary of your risks and plans. I will mention some of them at the start of next lecture. (after the team meeting)
