Due: Sunday by 11:59pm Total Points: 100 Overview: This assignment is a part of the ongoing case study project introduced at the start of the course. Complete this portion of the case study using the accompanying outline template provided in Blackboard. The Case Study Project is not a collaborative effort. All assignments should be completed individually.
Instructions: SCENARIO: The case study project you have been planning throughout the course is now underway. Predictably, the project is not completely following the project plan. In fact, two of the risks you identified in your business case assignment in course unit 1 appear to be occurring. Step 1: Choose any 2 of the 5 risks you identified in your business case assignment. Both risks must have sufficient impact on the project that the project’s scope – a task, deliverable, requirement, or other output – must be modified. In other words, do not choose risks that don’t require any changes to the project, and do not choose risks that can be addressed simply by changing the project’s schedule or budget. Your risk response must require a change to some portion of the project’s scope. Step 2: Based on the lecture materials in the course thus far and the template provided, submit change control requests to modify project scope in order to respond to the risks you identified in step 1. Submit two change control request forms, one for each risk you selected in Step 1. As with earlier deliverables, use a business writing style where applicable. Also, as discussed in this week’s lecture materials, change requests should be easy to read quickly.
Requirements:
Use the “Change Request Form Outline” template to complete the assignment and
submit to Blackboard.
Each change request you submit should be no longer than 1 ½ pages.
Writing should be clear, concise, and well organized. Thoughts should be expressed in
a logical manner.
