This document contains a practice exam for a project management course. It includes multiple choice questions covering topics like risk identification, analysis, response planning, and monitoring and control. It also includes questions asking students to describe processes like qualitative risk analysis, decision tree analysis, sensitivity analysis using tornado diagrams, and using contracts like FPEPA. The exam is divided into several sets and covers the full range of project risk management from planning to execution.

12. PROJ 595 Week 3 Risk Paper 1
Write a two- to four-page paper regarding a project, either real or
fictitious, where one is able to discuss how risks were identified, ranked,
and monitored. The student is also welcome to write about a major
purchase or major decision in his or her life, such as buying a new car,
buying a new home, or even the decision to return to school to earn a
degree. All of these are considered projects or procurements that
require some form of formal or informal risk review.
Remember to cite and reference any sources that were used in the
project or in the decision-making process. At a minimum, students
should connect this assignment back to the text and support their
decision-making processes with key concepts from the text. One of the
elements of this assignment is to connect the material from the course to
actual risk decisions. You are also welcome to use any of the checklists
from the text to support the decision-making process.

13. Course Project Part I
For this project, you may choose a project that is of interest to you.
When selecting a project, avoid picking one that is either too big or too
small. For example, do not decide to build a new stadium for your local
professional sports team (too big) or to plant your summer garden (too
small).You will only be addressing the risk issues in the project so you
will not need to be looking at the detail required for a business plan. The
scope statement and the WBS are required in addition to the risk
management plan. It is important to pick one that you understand so that
you will be able to create the risk management plan that is realistic with
sufficient detail where your contingency plans will be relevant.Since you
will need to create a risk management plan, your project should be
somewhat risky.
1. Create a risk management plan for your project. To do this, you
must first create a scope and a WBS for your project.
2. Perform risk management planning as defined in the lecture.
3. Identify risks for your project, including any issues that may
impede or impair the completion of the project. You must identify at
least 5 positive and 15 negative risks.
4. Prioritize the risks by performing qualitative risk analysis.
Perform risk response planning for your project by creating detailed
risk response plans for those risks needing responses. This should
include both proactive responses and reactive contingency plans as
appropriate.

Course Project Part II
For this part, you will be creating two decision trees concerning specific
risks or events from the project you developed in part 1. The first one
will be a decision tree used to make a decision. You will be calculating
an expected value based upon this decision tree. The second will be for a
basic risk or event where you will be creating a fault or event tree
illustrating what makes up the fault or event. With each of these, you will
need to discuss the process and results of your tree.
The risks or events you use will be from the project you used in the part
one. You will need to start the report with a short introduction of that
project so that there is continuity and the reader will understand the
events and risks being discussed. You do not have to include part one in
your part two report.
16. Details:
Create one decision tree with an expected value and a fault or event tree
that would support the exploration of risk for the project you used for
part one of the course project. (That is two trees in all.) Provide a one
paragraph project description of the part 1 project but you do not have
to repeat all the other information in this part.
·The decision tree must be created to support a major risk-related
decision likely to be faced by the project. The calculation of expected
values is a requirement of this project.
·The fault or event tree should offer at a minimum a listing of potential
risks and impacts in the event of a smaller failure.
For example, a smaller failure could be the loss of water pressure or a
fire in a construction project rather than examining what risk was
involved with the collapse of the construction project.
Write a discussion of the risks that supports the fault tree, event tree, or
decision tree that has been created. Make a separate write up for each
of these smaller risks associated with the fault tree or event trees. Your
paper should have a general introduction that should introduce the
decision tree and fault or event trees that will be discussed, and then the
paper should have a discussion regarding each tree. See the sample
outline below for details.
The part 2 paper regarding the identified risks and decision trees should
be from six to ten pages in length. Note that this page length is a
guideline.
At leastthree authoritative, outside references are required (anonymous
authors or web pages are not acceptable). These should be referenced
where used in the paper and listed on the last page titled, Works Cited.
Risks such as “project is over budget” or “project does not meet
schedule” are too broad. Be specific.
17. Comments on how to create an acceptable tree and project paper
Each fault or event tree should offer at a minimum a listing of two or
more potential risks and impacts in the event of two smaller failures.
(This means for each tree you will have at a minimum two sub-faults
with multiple causes for each of them.)
Use “and” and “or” gates properly. Understand the difference. When
you use an ‘and’ gate it indicates that it take both of the conditions for
the fault to occur. If either of the conditions could cause a problem this
indicates the use of an ‘or’ gate.
There are examples and templates in doc sharing.
You need to select specific faults to use in the tree. General examples of
faults are too broad for the fault tree to provide a comprehensive
evaluation of the possible causes.
The graphics for the tree do not have to be artist professional quality but
they do need to be student professional. A table is not sufficient. If you
use screen shots be sure you crop them so that only the tree is included
not all the computer menus and etc.
You should have at least two options under each gate. There is no
reason for a gate if there is only one option.
When a template is provided or an example it is not meant to be copied.
If you are not doing a construction project, your headings should not be
“construction project” just because the example says that.
This is a risk management course. The engineering solutions to the
problems on these projects are not the answer that you should be
developing. The development is of the risk management system and
process for your specific project.
