Summer 2013 SWEN 6837.03 Capstone Assignment

The students will develop a Risk Management paradigm (procedure, process) described in “A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide).” In the PMBOK there are five project process groups:

1. Initiating
2. Planning
3. Executing
4. Monitoring and Controlling
5. Closing

The PMBOK also has a Project Risk Management knowledge area which uses a Risk Register. The Risk Register is similar to the Carnegie Mellon Institute (CMI) Software Engineering Risk Information Sheet used in Software Risk Management.

Assignment:

Use the information from Module 1 Introduction and the above five process groups to write your paper showing the PMBOK Risk Register Form/Log implementation similar to the CMI Risk Information Sheet.
