Question 2: Risk Management Scenario. (3 marks)
Guy and Samantha are tenants at 11 Somerville Street, Belmore Heights, which is managed by
Evansdale Real Estate. Their four-bedroom property has a swimming pool. The latch on the
swimming pool gate does not always lock properly. They have a 3-year-old son who has managed to
open the pool gate on a number of occasions. They also have a dog that went out of the gate
sometimes. They have sent a letter to Evansdale Real Estate asking for the lock to be fixed. However
the landlord is unwilling to pay for a locksmith to do this. You are the case officer of this dispute
resolution project for this real estate and you will be required to complete the following tasks below.
Explain the process of identifying and managing risk in this case project situation.
As per the case scenario, the different identification processes are mainly based on listening to
different complaints for the people. I would personally make a visit to the particular house. I would
look into the details of the scenario and also listen to the complaints of tenants. After a proper
identification of risks, the different likelihoods and various consequences of several forms of risks that
are associated can also be measured.
The different kind of risks that have been associated have mainly be ranked based on their likelihood
of happening and severe consequences. In the next step, there have been a discussion about the
various forms of treatment of the risks. In the discussed case scenario, the various kind of risks are
mainly dependent on not having a latch on the gate. This is considered as the main concern. I would
also go through the official papers that have been signed by the house owners. I would also view the
signed agreement papers that belong to the tenants and the landlord before they entered the house.
After having an entire view of the scenario, I would be able to suggest different forms of
recommendations that would suit the tenants. I would judge the entire scenario and thus suggest
better recommendations to my client. I would also have a conversation with the landlord about the
concerned issue and thus suggest him to serve his tenants in a better manner.
Identify three risks from the scenario.

R1. The primary risk is that if the latch on the gate does not have a proper functionality, the child may
open the gate and thus drown himself in the swimming pool. This would lead to a tremendous
accident.
R2. The second kind of risk is based on the fact that the dog might also open the latch. It might run
out somewhere and thus get lost.
R3. The third form of risk is that any individual who would unknowingly open the gate may drown
themselves without a proper knowing of the fact.
List the potential risks of the scenario and put them in the risk matrix below.

Question 3: Scenario on organisational mission, goals, objectives and organisational
procedures. (5 marks)
Your project management class is planning to undertake a class website project. Assume that your
instructor is the project’s sponsor, you are the project manager, your classmates are your project
team, and you have three weeks to complete this project.

As the project manager you will oversee the project to create a website for your class, and then fill in
the details for the introduction or overview section. The website would include a home page with links

update, a page for results update, a forum/chat room for the project management class where
students and the instructor can exchange information, a link to the electronic textbook, links to other
project management resources, and links to personal pages for each member of your class and future
classes. Based on the project scenario, respond to the following questions.
Outline the mission for this project.
The primary mission of the project is mainly based on developing a website that would improve the
benefits within the class. The design for the website would include several features based on
benefiting the students and also for the teachers. The concerned project would also include several
kind of features that would include discussions for the lecture part, chat or forum room, links to
electronic textbook and several kind of functionalities. This would thus help the two parties to interact

improving the future outcomes based on providing high-class education facilities.
