Note: The assignments in this course are a series of papers that are based on the same case, which is located in the XanEdu tab
in the left-hand menu of your course. The assignments depend on one another. During the project life cycle, project risk reviews and
reports are required, as previously identified in the risk management plan. Two months after the project started, the following events
have taken place:
The top two threats have occurred.
The top opportunity has been realized.
The project’s risk budget is already exhausted.
The risk management schedule has been shortened by two months.
Write a 4–6 page paper in which you:
1. Analyze the impact of the events on the project.
2. Determine if any mitigation activities are required, and explain why.
3. Determine if budget or schedule changes are necessary, and explain why.
4. Update the risk register and highlight the changes made. Provide the justification for the changes.
5. Use at least four quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing
