RISK MGT PLAN
Risk Strategy: The Program initial risk assessment is above. This will be actively managed throughout the program execution phase. A clear
communication path has been established for all risks – program and project specific. These risks will be reported bi-weekly through the PMO
reporting tool by the L3 and L2 scheduler and responsible PMs, reviewed and escalated to the Program Manager and Sponsor as applicable,
via the mechanism detailed below.
• The risk owners and work stream leads will monitor risks and mitigation plans associated with their Level 3 schedules. The status updates,
identification of new risks, and trending of recurring risks will be monitored by the program controls team through updates to the PMO
reporting tool.
• The Program leadership and steering committee will monitor and mitigate risks that impact adherence to the Level 2 schedule or those
risks that impact multiple workstreams (e.g. resource challenges).
Risks will be escalated in the following order:
• Level 3 Risks will be managed through the PM (as appropriate)
• Level 2 Risks will be managed by the Program leadership team (weekly meeting)
• Level 2 Risks that cannot be managed by the Program Leadership team will be escalated to Program Steering (biweekly meeting).
• Level 2 Risks that cannot be managed by the Program Steering Committee will be escalated to the Program Sponsor (biweekly meeting).
