Section 1 – Introduction to the Plan
1.1 Benefits of Risk Management
Developing a risk management plan aids in attaining the objectives of a project. The following risk management plan
identifies, assesses, and provides mitigation guidelines for risks facing virtual teams. As technology continues to evolve people are
able to virtually connect in many ways. Adopting these technological solutions may benefit projects in the workplace but it also
assumes risk. Using this risk management plan the organization may be able to recognize risks that are not overtly apparent, provide
assessment of those risks for likelihood and impact, and develop responses to mitigate any loss.
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
Define the plan's goals and objectives as they relate to the evaluation of risk for a project.
The goal of this project is to mitigate risks facing virtual teams. Consequently, this would allow the organization to effectively
use virtual teams which have many potential benefits. Aspects such as employee safety, office space minimization, travel time
mitigation, and others could be realized if an organization effectively uses virtual teams. As globalization continues to rise,
organizations are no longer hindered by traditional work group boundaries such as geography or time (Regueira, 2016). Capitalizing
on virtual teams involves evaluating the new risks associated. Some of the factors associated with virtual teams are communication,
coordination, and technology (Regueira, 2016). Other goals for the virtual team risk mitigation project are improving these variables.
1.3 Company Background
This project is applicable to many organizations attempting to take advantage of virtual teams. Typical beneficiaries of virtual
teams range from the Board of Directors, if the organization becomes more efficient, to the customers, if the virtual team can perform
at high quality. The role of the directors is to provide oversight and vision to the organization as a whole. The customers have a
transactional relationship with the organization and the role of furthering the mission of the business in exchange for a product or
service.
Specific roles within this context are a project manager. It is the responsibility of the project manager to organize, plan, and
allocate resources to meet the objectives of the project (Regueira, 2016). The group responsible for executing interdependent tasks
is referred to as the project team. Individual team members have specific skill sets which contribute to the success of the project. This
group executes to the scope of the project virtually through technological resources. This not only carries potential benefits but is very
appropriate considering the current climate. The ability for teams to work virtually allows for safe social distancing keeping the
workforce healthy and productive. [Show Less]
