NR631 W7 Risk Management and Human Resource Management Plan Guidelines and Rubric

NR631 W7 RACI Template

NR631 W7 Risk Register Template

Purpose

The process of project management has five phases: (1) design and initiation, which you just completed; (2) finalizing your plan before implementation, which you will do now; (3) implementation; (4) monitor and control; and finally, (5) evaluation and lessons learned, as well as knowledge transfer.

During Phase 2 (finalizing the project plan), you will continue to create the tools and documents you will need when you implement your project as the project manager in Phase 3.

Week 4: Communications Plan

Week 5: Deliverables and Critical Success Factors (CSFs)

Week 6: Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Gantt Chart

Week 7: Risk Management and Human Resource Management Plans

In this assignment, students document, track, and manage a project’s risks and use of human resources. The risk management will be accomplished through the use of a Risk Register chart.

Using the Risk Register is a way to identify, document, and manage all the risks associated with a project. The chart details provide an easy way to scan for the level of risk, status, potential responses, and who is responsible for the risk, in addition to the project manager or other details needed to manage the risk. This is a great way to keep everyone informed when this document is presented at the weekly team meetings and in communication with all stakeholders.

Another key tool is called the responsible, accountable, consulted, informed (RACI) chart, which helps you identify who is responsible for, accountable for, consulted on, or informed about each major project task. The RACI chart will help manage and track use of human resources; this facilitates monitoring and control and provides one means of communication. It documents and makes clear who is responsible for bringing the task to completion, on time, and on budget.

Due Date: Sunday at 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 7

Week 2 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Child and Adolescent   Safety Statistics [WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 2, 6]

Prior to completing this discussion, please read Chapters 5 and 6 in your textbook. You may be interested in viewing the interactive infographic within Chapter 6 to learn more about specific safety statistics.

Safety is an important issue to consider when explaining the physical development in children and adolescence. For this discussion, you will address the following:

• Provide examples of new safety      guidelines that did not exist either when you were growing up, or when      your parents were growing up.
• Then, review What Is CRAAP? A      Guide to Evaluating Web Sources (Links to an external site.) and search the internet for      credible sources, using Ashford University Library’s video Scholarly and      Popular Resources (Links to an external site.) for guidelines. Find and      report on three statistics specifically related to child and adolescent      safety from this current decade (2010 to present). Provide one statistic      for each of the three stages: infancy or toddlerhood, childhood, and      adolescence. Address the social system (family, school, and the community)      that is affected by this statistic if applicable. 
  • In other words, you will have       one unique statistic for each of the three stages. Be sure to reference       the site where the statistic was located.

See the example below:

One   statistic found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web page,   under the Child Passenger Safety: Get the Facts, Risk Reduction for Every Age   tab, states that, “Car seat use reduces the risk for death to infants (aged   <1 year) by 71%; and to toddlers (aged 1–4 years) by 54% in passenger   vehicles” (2017, para. 3).

Centers   for Disease Control and Prevention. (2017). Child passenger safety:   Get the facts (Links to an external site.). Retrieved from   http://www.cdc.gov/MotorVehicleSafety/Child_Passenger_Safety/CPS-Factsheet.html

Guided Response: Review your peers’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers in substantive posts of at least 100 words each by Day 7. In your responses, consider how these safety statistics have changed over time and address how this may have impacted survival rates in our parents’ or grandparents’ generations. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion forum. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7 and respond with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.
