Project management

Alaska Fly-Fishing Expedition*

You are sitting around the fire at a lodge in Dillingham, Alaska, discussing a fishing expedition you

are planning with your colleagues at Great Alaska Adventures (GAA). Earlier in the day you received

a fax from the president of BlueNote, Inc. The president wants to reward her top management team

by taking them on an all-expense-paid fly-fishing adventure in Alaska. She would like GAA to

organize and lead the expedition.

You have just finished a preliminary scope statement for the project (which follows). You are now

brainstorming potential risks associated with the project.

1. Brainstorm potential risks associated with this project. Try to come up with at least five

different risks.

2. Use a risk assessment form similar to Figure 7.6 to analyze identified risks.

3. Develop a risk response matrix similar to Figure 7.8 to outline how you would deal with each

of the risks.
