PRM520 Monitoring, Controlling, and Closing Projects
Module 7 Discussion
The Situation: In your past, you have probably monitored risks in your personal life, on your job, or both. Select one that you were monitoring, either formally or informally, that actually happened and was a surprise. Remember, risks are both opportunities and threats.
The Assignment: With 20-20 hindsight, identify what you missed that could have better predicted the risk occurring. Also, with 20-20 hindsight, identify what threat mitigation, threat avoidance, or opportunity exploitation you would have initiated. What else, if anything, could you add to your lessons learned database to improve your future performance? Include at least three credible references in addition to the PMBOK® Guide with at least one of these being a peer-reviewed journal article. Properly cite your response.
