Introduction to Project Risk Management

/in /by

Risks are events that can impact a project; by focusing on these potential events, project managers and other stakeholders can reduce the impact of these events on the project. For example, a risk for a hardware replacement project could be that the technology may change prior to completion of the project. One way to reduce the impact is to have contract terms with the hardware vendor to obtain the newest hardware.

By completing the project risk management plan in class, you will be able to understand methods of identifying risks, performing risk analyses, determining risk responses, and monitoring risks.

Assignment Details

Part I

For this assignment, you will develop a risk management plan based on a project of your choosing.

Some examples of projects include the following:

  • Replacing computers in an office building
  • Improving a claims process

Discussion1 Ethical Problem Solving in Research

/in /by

For this Discussion, review the media titled Research Ethics. Keeping in mind that titles and research practices in South Africa may differ from those in other locales or academic environments, consider some of the ethical dilemmas faced by the narrator, Kevin Williams. Then read Decoding the Ethics Code,Chapter 11. Select one of the “poor outcome” cases (located in the gray sidebar boxes and indicated by a checked “x” in the small boxes next to each example).

Post by Day 3 a brief summary of the “poor outcome” case you selected. Then explain the ethical principle(s)/codes the researcher violated and how. Also, suggest one strategy the researcher could have implemented and explain how this might have helped resolve the ethical dilemma. Also, comment on whether the dilemma would change if either the participant or the researcher is located outside of the United States. Finally, describe any outcomes the suggested strategy might cause, including additional dilemmas, and explain why.

Be specific and include reference to the Learning Resources in your response.

When Good Discoveries Go Bad: Antibiotics

Bacteria are a type of prokaryote that are absolutely everywhere in the world, from dirt to food, and even inside other living creatures. In the past 60 years, scientists have developed some incredible drugs, called antibiotics, to fight bacterial infections. These drugs have saved millions of lives.

There is, however, a downside to the development of antibiotics, their overuse. Since the late 1970s, antibiotics have been prescribed more and more, and for less and less serious infections, which has led to many bacteria developing a resistance to these drugs. When this happens, bacteria very quickly lose their vulnerability to these antibiotics, leaving humans once again susceptible to infection.

For this reason, many people think that the over prescription of antibiotics by doctors and their addition in products like antibacterial soaps and kitchen wipes, have led to the evolution of “superbugs” that cannot be killed by normal antibiotics. Others take a different view, believing that antibiotics are chemicals like any other, and they should be allowed to be prescribed at-will and included in household products.

  • Do some research and describe at least one specific example where antibiotic overuse has resulted in a negative effect.
  • What was the effect of this overuse?
  • How could this have been prevented?
  • What do you think about antibiotic regulation?
  • Who should be in control of regulating the use of antibiotics, if anyone and why?
  • You happen to have a mild head-cold during your annual physical. You doctor says that she can give you some antibiotics to treat it. Based on your research, what would your response be? Why or why not would you fill the prescription?
