Reviewing your work
You should devote about one hour to this section.
Before drawing conclusions and formulating a risk treatment plan, you will need to review your project definition, where you stated your aim, objectives and scope for the risk assessment.
It would also be worthwhile to consider how well you feel you performed in completing the risk assessment, and how you would do it next time. These aspects are part of the self-assessment task which concludes your assignment 2, Risk Assessment Project Report.
Activity 9.1
Review of project definition
Please reread and review your project definition.
Review questions
- Did you achieve all of your objectives? If not, in what way did you fall short of your objectives?
- In the light of the risk assessment, were the objectives that you set achievable and reasonable?
- Was the scope appropriate, or did you choose too large an area for your risk assessment within the time available?
The answers to these questions should be noted in your self-assessment.
Review of risk assessment performance
I would like you to consider how you have performed the risk assessment and answer the following questions. The answers to these questions will assist you in completing your self-assessment.
- In what way would you use your planning group differently next time?
- What skills and knowledge did you find were necessary in using your planning group?
- In what ways did you modify the risk assessment process as you were using it?
- In what ways would you do your risk assessment differently next time?

Conclusions
Conclusions by definition, are statements deduced from the information or argument so far presented. Therefore the conclusions that you draw must be based entirely on information in your risk assessment . You must not introduce any new ideas that have not been discussed earlier in your risk assessment report/ assignment. If you introduce new ideas, or base conclusions on material not previously discussed, your conclusions will not be justifiable.
There are three important questions that you need to consider when writing your conclusions.
 |
|
- To whom are you going to report your conclusions?
|
- How do you gain support from management for your conclusions?
|
- What should your conclusions look like?
|
Activity 9.2
Let us take each of these quesitons in turn.
1. Apart from the assessors for this subject, to whom are you going to report your conclusions?
Think about this question and write down your answer. Then check your answers against our suggestions below.
2. How do you gain support from your community's 'management' or decision makers for your conclusions ?
Consider this question for a moment. Write down what you feel you ought to do, before reading on.
3. What should your conclusions look like?
Your conclusions should be a series of short statements of fact, and interpretation of facts. The proof, justification and argument for these conclusions should all be in the body of your report. If necessary, you should refer to specific sections of your report to justify your conclusions.
