Contingency Plan and Executive Presentation

Project plans outline the intended course of events; however, things don’t always happen as intended. Organizations need to consider risks and develop a contingency plan. This plan is typically presented to management. 

Add the following 2 columns to the project plan table you created in Wk 4 – Apply: Project Plan: 

1. Potential Risk Factors 
2. Contingency Plans 

Based on your prior research, determine potential risk factors for not meeting each of the project objectives. Develop a contingency plan for each of the potential risks. Add the potential risks and contingency plan to your Wk 4 – Apply: Project Plan. 

Use Microsoft PowerPoint® , Prezi® , or another software to create a 12- to 14-slide executive presentation—with appropriate images and diagrams—that summarizes the following information: 

• The organization’s information presented in Wk 1 
• SWOT analysis and market trend research 
• Project objectives 
• How success will be measured
• The value this project will bring to the organization
• Project metrics 
• Timelines  
• Responsible parties 
• Potential risk factors 
• Contingency plans 

Include detailed speaker notes within the presentation. Convert the speaker notes to a Microsoft Word document and add it to the citations slide.  

Cite all sources according to APA guidelines.
