Use a personal project to conduct a risk analysis. Over the past few weeks in the discussion, you provided a project summary that included scope, goals, and budget. Now, you should conduct a project risk analysis for a personal project. You should identify and conduct a risk assessment of all the possible risks that could affect the project. You should use brainstorming and other problem-identifying techniques.

Introduction
A project risk analysis is a process that helps you identify and manage the risks that could affect your project. You should use brainstorming and other problem-identifying techniques to come up with ideas for how to reduce or eliminate these risks. The most effective way to do something is usually also the easiest way, but there are some exceptions!
[define]
To ensure that you’re working on the right project, it’s important to define your goals before you start. A good way to do this is by defining a problem and then brainstorming solutions with other people in the organization (or even outside of it).
You should also be as ambitious in your goal setting as possible, but at the same time stay realistic about what’s realistically achievable within three months or so. For example, if you want to lose 10 pounds by next week, then make sure that there are no other factors influencing your decision-making process: for example, don’t just decide on any arbitrary weight loss goal without considering whether or not this is actually possible for someone who hasn’t changed their lifestyle at all since starting their diet yesterday!
[identify]
Now that you have a risk assessment framework in place, it’s time to identify all the risks that could affect your project. You should use brainstorming and other problem-identifying techniques to come up with as many ideas as possible. This will help you find new problems or concerns that weren’t considered before, which will make identifying them easier later on.
Once you have identified all possible risks for your project, it’s time for the next step: conducting a risk analysis! There are several ways of doing this:
-
Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM): This method uses an Excel spreadsheet where risks are listed horizontally across columns and ranked vertically within each column by severity level (ease/difficulty). The RAM enables us to see at once which types of risks need more attention than others before proceeding with our work on each category individually; however, it does not provide any information about how likely these threats might actually occur so we cannot predict how much damage they might do if they occur during our work period(s). For example: “The RAM would indicate that there is a high probability that we will encounter problems related specifically ____ but not necessarily because ____ amounting up into total cost exceeds $___ per hour spent on completing this task.”
[assess]
The first step in conducting a risk assessment is to identify the risks. This can be done by brainstorming or by using other problem-identifying techniques.

Identify the risks:
-
Identify all possible sources of risk that could affect your project and list them in order of likelihood, impact and probability that they will occur. You should also assess how severe each one is and how much control you have over it.
The most effective way to do something is to follow a process.
A process is a sequence of steps that leads to a desired result. It’s repeatable, measurable, and controllable. A process can be documented using something like a flowchart or Gantt chart (see below).
These are some examples:
-
The steps for making tea include boiling water in a kettle, adding tea leaves then pouring hot water over them. The end result is that you have made tea!
-
To make chocolate chip cookies from scratch requires mixing flour with baking powder and salt into two bowls; then adding an egg white at room temperature in another bowl along with oil before mixing all three ingredients together by hand for about 5 minutes until it becomes doughy enough to shape into balls with hands instead of rolling onto floured surface between two sheets of plastic wrap
