The objective of this assignment is to develop a risk management plan for a given project. Students will learn how to identify, assess, and manage risks associated with the project, and develop strategies to mitigate or avoid those risks.
Instructions:
Identify the risks: Identify potential risks associated with the project. These could include technical risks, financial risks, legal risks, environmental risks, or any other risks that may be relevant to the project.
Assess the risks: Once you have identified the risks, assess their likelihood and potential impact on the project. Use a risk matrix or any other risk assessment tool to rank the risks according to their severity.
Create a risk register based on the identified risks.
Develop a risk management plan: Based on the results of the risk assessment, develop a risk management plan. This should include strategies to mitigate or avoid the identified risks, as well as contingency plans in case the risks materialize.
Present your plan: Present your risk management plan in a presentation. The presentation should include: 
An introduction to the project
A summary of the identified risks
The results of the risk assessment
The risk management strategies you have developed. 
Note: Be sure to include any relevant diagrams or charts (see the risk management templates in Module 8) to support your findings in your presentation.

You have been tasked with organizing a community event to raise awareness for a social cause. The event will involve various activities, such as a fundraising walk/run, a charity auction, and a concert featuring local performers. You are in charge of developing a project charter for this event. The project charter will serve as a guide for the entire event, providing direction and clarity on the goals, scope, and expectations of the project. To develop the project charter, you should follow these steps:
Define the project scope: Clearly define the goals, objectives, and deliverables of the project. Identify the specific activities that will be involved in the event, the timeline, and the budget.
Identify the project stakeholders: Identify all stakeholders who will be involved in the project, such as volunteers, sponsors, participants, and attendees. Determine their roles and responsibilities and how they will be involved in the project.
Set project milestones: Define the key milestones and deliverables for the project. Establish checkpoints to assess progress and ensure that the project stays on track.
Determine the project budget: Develop a detailed budget that includes all costs associated with the project, such as venue rental, equipment, marketing, and other expenses. Identify potential sources of funding, such as grants and donations.
Define the project risks: Identify potential risks and develop a risk management plan. Determine the likelihood and impact of each risk and define mitigation strategies.
Essential Activities:
Reading Lessons 1 through 7 will assist you in writing your paper.
Watching “Develop Project Charter” will assist you in writing your paper.
Notes:
This paper must be formatted in APA Style 7th edition.
Please refer to the written assignment rubric on the start here tab for this paper.

Discussion Forum Topic:
Each year, PMI publishes its Pulse of the Profession report.  It always includes fantastic insights into our PJM world.  For this week, we will explore your transition from MS in PJM and your continued role as a life-long learner.  Using the attached 2023 PMI Pulse of the Profession for background and context, what thoughts do you have re: the power skills and how organizations should focus more on soft skills and why.?  Given the information shared in the report, what opportunities are there for you to continue to learn to be effective as a project manager? 
respond to one other.  In your response, offer suggestions for how what has been learned can be extended as well as options to meet those shared opportunities.
Post 1:
The emphasis on power skills highlighted in the PMI Pulse of the Profession 2023 report resonates deeply with me as I embark on my journey into the professional realm with an MS in Project Management. While technical proficiency forms the foundation of project management, it’s evident that power skills play a pivotal role in driving success. Communication, problem-solving, collaborative leadership, and strategic thinking, as identified in the report, are universally acknowledged as vital attributes across industries and regions.
The report’s revelation that organizations with a focus on power skills exhibit higher project management maturity and organizational agility underscores the significance of prioritizing these skills. However, it’s disheartening to note that despite the clear advantages, many organizations neglect to allocate resources toward developing these competencies.
As a recent graduate eager to excel in project management, this report serves as a call to action. It inspires me to continually refine my power skills, recognizing them as essential components of my professional toolkit. The PMI Talent Triangle, with its emphasis on power skills alongside technical expertise and business acumen, provides a structured approach to personal development (Bell, 2022).
Moreover, the report highlights opportunities for me to enhance my power skills through mentorship, team assessments, and various learning avenues. By actively engaging in these opportunities, I aim to strengthen my ability to collaborate effectively and drive successful project outcomes.
In summary, the PMI Pulse of the Profession 2023 report underscores the criticality of power skills in project management success. It urges both individuals and organizations to prioritize the development of these skills to thrive in an increasingly dynamic business landscape. As a young professional, I am committed to investing in my power skills, and I encourage organizations to recognize and nurture these competencies for sustained success.
Thank you, 
Sowmya Nayak

The power skills or the soft skills mainly include communication, problem solving, strategic thinking and collaborative leadership. I think that power skills can only be learned by trial and error. And the best way to encourage someone to try it is by creating an environment for it which is by organizing workshops and luncheons. The stakes are really low when working internally and there is always a safe exit. But while working cross organizations the stakes might go higher and communication errors can affect the company’s reputation. The alignment of project objectives to the company’s long-term goals can only be verified by focusing on the soft skills. Although the technical skills are essential to tackle the technical problems, but recognizing the problems can only be obtained by interacting with the people and understanding their problems. It is not only about communication, but it is combination of the strategic thinking, problem solving skills and leadership which gives the most power. I believe someone cannot lead a project being an unknown to the topic meaning having zero information about the project. Confidence comes with understanding a particular topic and/or researching till a certain depth where one can teach the same topic to other in less time.
It is fascinating to see South Asia having the most critical power skills by region. Literally, double money and time is spent on developing technical skills than power skills which seems valid to me. Other soft skills include accountability, adaptability, discipline, empathy, future focused orientation, for -purpose orientation, relationship building and innovative mindset. Moving ahead I would focus more on empathy as I think it could bring out more information. Although it is barely making to the top 5 most critical skills, I think building long term relationships on a project to facilitate smooth work is essential. Maintaining the adequate balance between technical and power skills is the key, so my goal would be to learn both side by side. I believe doing the above mentioned things would make me an effective project manager.
