IT Project Management
Report 3
Risk Management is an important part of Project Management. In this report consider the
different types of risks that a project manager has to contend with. Identify one project each in
Health Care and Transportation that has greater relevance to the Houston economy. Write a
detailed analysis of the risks involved in these two industries and the mitigation techniques that
you could recommend for each identified risk. Base your references on these two industries only.
Use the Report Template posted on Blackboard for report content. This template has the
grading rubric built-in.
For writing this report you should check both print and online resources. You may use
any information from newspapers, only to the extent that you can corroborate them from other
reliable sources. Follow the guidelines in the syllabus for preparing the report. The report should
be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on the due date to the SafeAssignment link on Blackboard. Several
minutes after submission you should be able to see the originality Report in Blackboard under
the column “Matching” for your submission. Include 5 to 10 references and list the reference
details such as author(s), volume, page numbers, year of publication or web link, as the case may
be. Use at least two references from print sources such as a journal. Do not collaborate with any
other student in class in writing this report. I am looking for your analysis of the information that
you present and so any item quoted should be brief. If the originality report shows a match of
more than 15% then I will consider the report to be not your work and deduct points accordingly.
If the originality report shows a match of 50% or more then I will consider the report to be
plagiarized and will take appropriate actions, including assigning an F grade for the course
and/or reporting the matter to the appropriate authorities at TSU as mentioned in the syllabus.
Report Template
(Use the guidelines in this report to prepare your report. I have indicated the points for various
segments of the report based on a maximum of 50 points)
Title of the Report (centered and boldfaced)
1 point
Your name
1 point
Abstract (between 200 and 250 words)
5 points
Abstract should be descriptive of the report content. It should highlight the main features of the
report. It is intended to help the reader continue reading the report beyond the Abstract. Do not
include any references in the Abstract. It should not be an introduction to the topic describing
other related items.
Introduction
3 points
(describe here the relationship of the topic to other items that you consider important).
This should not be more than one page in length.
Main report
35 points
This should contain subheadings so that the various parts of the report are highlighted. This is
intended to help the reader focus on the area of interest for them. Address all the items specified
in the write-up. Every acronym used must be expanded the first time it is used. First give the
expansion and put the acronym in parentheses. For each additional use you can use the acronym
only.
Any item you use in the References section must be referenced in the body of the text. The APA
format convention is (last name of the first author, year). The parentheses are part of the citation
in the text. For example, if you have the reference
Wilson, J. 2012. Significance of Project Management, Journal of Project Management, vol. 20,
#3, 45-52.
included in the References section, then you will cite this reference in the body of the text as
(Wilson, 2012).
References
5 points
Follow the APA format. The listing above follows the APA format. If you need further help you
can Google “APA format” and find several samples. Follow the instructions in the write-up.
Generally avoid news source references such as New York Times. If you use them do not list
them in the references. Instead, find additional corroborating evidence from other sources and
use that in your reference. The instructions given in the write-up require both print sources and
web sources for the references. The web sources should be from reliable sources such as
government sites such as www.nist.gov or from major companies such as www.ibm.com . The
idea of the references is for the reader to go and read the full content in the reference, if
necessary. For this reason the reference citation should be complete. Do not quickly conclude
that a web document date is unknown and use “n.d.” for “no date.” Try to check further to see if
you can locate this document with a date mentioned. If you have time contact the author to find
out the date of publication. The general rule is “n.d.” should be used sparingly.
