Risk Management Plan 1
People Risk
People are considered the most important asset in any business, but they are also the most
vulnerable asset. So, the people risk has great potential of influencing the success of the project.
People risk mainly arises due to the failure in recruiting the right candidate or any mistake or
unavailability of staff. The followings are some people risk that can face within the project:
R0001: Team
Description: This risk is associated with the higher rate of attrition. Attrition happens due to lack
of mutual understanding and cooperation between the members of the project.
Possible Risk: 1. Robot parts can’t integrate effectively in the absence of team members. 2. The
conflicts and disengagement comes with worse quality of Robot.
Likelihood: High
The conflicts and disengagement problems quite common and occurs much time within a single
project.
Severity: Serious
Depending on the team and resources, the robot may lose its effectiveness and design efficiency
due to the high rate of attrition. This will prove serious which may affect in a negative context.
Grades of Risk: A, B
Risk Indicator: Growing number of Conflicts, Disengagement, and Growing rate of employee
turnover, and attrition.
Control Strategies

Risk Management Plan 2
The project management team can control this risk by involving the employees in different
project decisions on a continuous basis. This gives them a feeling of attachment and bonding
with the management as well as the company operations. On the other hand, it can also control
by giving importance to the employee for the successful accomplishment of the project.
R0002: Absence of Team Members
Description
This risk is associated with the high rate of employee's absenteeism. It may happen due to the
employee dissatisfaction and exploitation at the workplace. Absenteeism comes with high project
failure chances with the delay in its accomplishment.
Possible Risks: 1. less manpower to produce the desired specification robot. 2. Up and down in
the project success or failure factors.
Likelihood: Less
Employee Satisfaction is the first priority of the project team. Therefore, there is a lack of
probability of happen the risk of absenteeism.
Severity: Serious
It is the human resources which become the core success factor of a project. Due to the
absenteeism, the robot project does not only lose its quality but also become delay in
implementation.
Grades of Risk: A to C
Risk Indicator: These are conflicts, Dissatisfaction, and frustrated human resources.

Risk Management Plan 3
Control Strategies: The management of robot project can control the risk of absenteeism by
giving proper importance to its employees and special performs that act that will give them
sufficient motivation and personal achievement.
R0003: Diverse Competency of Human Resources
Description: It is common that the employees working on a particular site have a difference as
per their region, language, and nations. In that situation, it becomes difficult for the management
to manage the diverse competency of human resources and precede the project in the desired
manner. Therefore, this diversification further rise dissatisfaction, and conflicts between the
management and employees.
Possible Risk: Conflicts and Disengagement between employees comes with poor robot quality.
Likelihood: High
The Diversification between employees is quite common. It is because it never becomes possible
for the management to hire employees of a particular nation or region only. Therefore, the
chances of conflicts and dissatisfaction may be great in that situation.
Severity: Serious
The diversification management is essential in order to implement and accomplish the robot
project as per predetermined timeline. So, a large number of attentions should pay towards the
diversification management at the workplace.
Grades of Risk: A, B
Risk Indicator: These are conflicts, Politics, Lag Pulling, and others.
Control Strategies

Risk Management Plan 4
In order to control the employee diversification, the management should develop an act of
equality. This will help the management of robot project to give the proper right to every
employee to express their feelings and participate actively in the management decisions.
R0004: Communication Ineffectiveness
Description
The risk of communication ineffectiveness is highly associated with the communication gap
between the employees of robot project and management. Communication is considered the core
factor of a project success. In order to accomplish the project with desired specifications,
communication efficiencies should be there. This risk may arise due to the lack of participation
of employees in project events and other meetings.
Possible Risks: 1. Misconception regarding the roles and responsibilities which further outputs
in poor integration of project works. 2. Misuse or leakage of important information that will
result in project failure.
Likelihood: High
Communication is a core factor of project success. Inefficient communication further leads
misunderstanding and misconceptions between employees which further become the reason of
project failure.
Severity: Serious
On the basis of the communication ineffectiveness, the robot may lose its core features on a
project that further become the reason of competitive advantage over its competitors. This will

Risk Management Plan 5
come with serious outcomes that further influence the quality and accomplishment of a project in
a negative manner.
Grades of Risk: A to D
Risk Indicator: These are lack interaction and communication in the workplace and low
employee morale.
Control Strategies
The management team of Robot project can control the risk of communication inefficiencies by
resolving the communication gap between them. This can successfully resolve by conducting the
team interaction meetings on the timely basis and other motivational games and activities.
Organizational Risk
Organizational risk has a greater potential of affecting the success of the project in a greater
manner. It is the risk management at the strategic level. These risks are the combinations of risks
associated with the organization and management structure follows within the company. The
following is the potential organization risk that may influence the success of project
implementation:
R001: Integration Risk
Description: Combined effects of the system may lead to degradation.
Possible Risk: 1. Poor integration will lead the robot with poor quality of integration. 2. Growth
in unreasonable cost of the robot production.
Likelihood: Low

Risk Management Plan 6
The project management team generally uses the effective planning and management tools which
reduce the possibility of occurring integration risk.
Severity: Tolerable
As per the project situation and requirement, it needs to resolve on an immediate basis. It is
because the poor integration comes with poor solutions that further reduce the quality of a
project.
Grades of Risk: A to D
Risk Indicator: These are scheduled Flaw, the performance of team members, and system
failure or slow processing.
Control Strategies
The project management team of the project can control integration risk by performing
integration testing to rule the out the inefficiencies and drawbacks. On the other hand, system
testing can perform on the timely basis so that the issue of integration can resolve on a timely
basis without wasting time. This action will ensure the stability, availability, usability, and
extensibility of the project outcomes.
R002: Lack of Empowerment
Description
It is the issue which caused through lack of empowerment or authorities. It means that when any
staff member sees a potential problem or risk, but they don't have the authority to take a decision
against it and resolve it on a timely basis. Due to the lack of empowerment, the project team
loses the efficiency of its robot and become the victim of a large number of problems.

Risk Management Plan 7
Possible Risk: 1. Lack of motivation further comes with poor quality of robot those competitors.
2. Failure in using the mature framework.
Likelihood: Medium
The project management team mainly empowers the authority as per the distributed roles and
responsibilities of employees. Therefore, there is a medium chance of occurred the risk of lack of
empowerment.
Severity: Tolerable
In the projects, the distribution of empowerment as per belonging designations is considered on
priority basis. It is because without the assigning of roles and responsibilities it is quite difficult
to move ahead and perform another task.
Grades of Risk: A to C
Risk Indicator: These are poor performance of employees and mistakes in task
accomplishments.
Control Strategies
In order to control the risk of lack of empowerment, the project management team of robot
project should distribute the roles and responsibilities as well as authorities prior starting the
project. This spread awareness among the employees about their functions and where they exist
within in the organizational hierarchy.
R003: Structural Risk
Description

Risk Management Plan 8
Poor design of the project structure may become the reason of assigning of wrong
responsibilities to the project members or not allocated to anyone. This risk mainly grows with
the lack of a manager capability to control the risk.
Possible Risks: 1. unclear project structure leads miscommunication within premise. 2.
Unreasonable organizational structure maximizes the risk of bugs in produced outcomes.
Likelihood: High
Most of the time, it happens that the responsibilities are assigned in the wrong manner. It
happens due to the lack of awareness in employees about their position in organization hierarchy
and manager inefficiencies.
Severity: Serious
As per the situation of the project, there is a high need to perfect alignment and integration of
project structure as per the organization hierarchy. Poor structural efficiency further becomes the
sole reason for project failure.
Grades of Risk: A, B
Risk Indicator These are the performance of team members, understanding of roles and
responsibilities, and flaw of roles and responsibilities.
Control Strategies
The robot project team can mainly reduce the structural risk by designing the organization
structure prior making a decision regarding the project. This guides in the further
accomplishment of project activities as per determined hierarchy of project.

Risk Management Plan 9
Estimation Risk
Estimation risk is considered the risk raise through the wrong anticipation, and evaluation. On
the other hand, it is also said that the estimation risk has a huge impact on variance, or mean
portfolios which is one of the main reasons to make standard optimization unfeasible in practice.
The following estimation risk may find in the project:
R001: Feasibility
Description: This is the risk which may arise under the estimation risk. Feasibility risk mainly
arises due to the inappropriate analysis of the project feasibility which further leading to the
project or system failure.
Possible Risks: 1. under estimation of the project comes with high cost which further increase
the potential cost of robot production. 2. Lost competitive advantage due to poor quality and lack
of feasibility.
Likelihood: High
The risk possibility is high because the feasibility analysis is essential to evaluate the facts and
figures with which further implementation process will carry out. Poor analysis of feasibility
does causes not only hurdle for the project success but also delay the project timeline which
further proves ineffective for the clients.
Severity: Serious
Feasibility has a great potential of influencing the cost as well as the functioning of the project
team. Therefore, a larger effort needs to perform towards consideration of feasibility and its
further improvement.

Risk Management Plan 10
Grades of Risk: A, B
Risk Indicator: These are projected Infrastructure, project regulatory perspectives, and arduous
technical problems.
Control Strategies
The risk of feasibility can easily control by taking immediate actions. For example, in order to
control the feasibility risk, the management can ask the team members to do their outcomes
check on a regular basis. Apart of this, it should ask the team members to prepare a risk of
project bugs and doubts about the feasibility. This ensures proper management on a timely basis.
R002: Deviation Risk
Description: The deviation risk is associated with the function of quantifying financial risk. This
represented the expected loss that occurs with probability penalized by the dispersions of results
that are worse than such an expectation. This comes with a great probability of project failure.
Possible Risk: 1. Wrong estimation model further comes with inaccurate outcomes that reduce
the efficiency of produced solution. 2. Lack of backup plan comes with uncertain effects on
profitability as well as robot quality.
Likelihood: High
Deviation risk is an important financial concept that comes with huge influences from the
financial stability as well as the position of the robot project.
Severity: Serious
A little mistake in the deviation evaluation causes huge problems in financial analysis as well as
estimation which further influence the project outcomes in a negative manner.

Risk Management Plan 11
Grades of Risk: A to C
Risk Indicator: These are wrong estimation model, wrong data resource, lack backup plan,
software, and hardware bias.
Control Strategies
In order to control the deviation risk, the project management team of robot project can come
with a right estimation model and should keep a backup plan for such type of uncertain
situations.
