Title: Managing Project Quality in a Risky Environment

One of the biggest challenges in project management is dealing with risks. The success and quality of a project could suffer, if risks are not effectively managed. In this assignment, you are tasked to develop a systematic approach to manage project quality under a risky environment in an actual industry setting. You can select one or a few projects that you are familiar with as the subjects of your study.

The objective of this assignment is to deepen your understanding about the relationship between project quality and project risks, and practice applying risk management methods to improve project quality. The focus of this assignment is on how risks are identified, assessed, monitored, and controlled in order to achieve high quality project outcome. It is important to note that this assignment is not about writing your learning of the processes, their definition, and their conceptual details. These are part of your expected learning of this course. The assignment is to demonstrate your ability to apply your learning to actual project of your choice.

The following outline is for your reference when writing the report.
Introduction: provide a brief description of the project(s) that you have selected for the study, including the industry/organization context that the project(s), the key elements of the project (e.g., objective, customer requirements, schedule, cost, constraints), and the key challenges when it comes to project risk management. This section should give readers a clear understanding of the context of your study. The emphasis is about the risk characteristics of the project and its environment.

Literature Review: there is a vast body of literature on project quality and project risk management. Your task in this section is to search for published literature (around 10 references) that are most relevant to the project(s) selected for your study. The relevance could be assessed based on the industry environment, organizational and cultural factors, and nature of the project work itself. From the literature review, you are expected to learn the fundamental theories/methodologies and the best practices when it comes to project quality management, project risk management, and the interrelationship between quality and risks; and make critical review comments whether they can be applied to the project(s) you have identified.

Main Content: in this section, you are tasked to apply what you have learned from the course and the literature review you have conducted to develop a systematic approach to manage project risks to improve project quality for your team/organization. This systematic approach should include, but not limited to, how project quality is defined and assessed, how project risks are identified and represented, how risks are analyzed qualitatively and/or quantitatively in relation to project quality, how risks are monitored and communicated across different corporate levels, how risks are mitigated, controlled, and/or responded, and how effective risk management could lead to higher project quality.

Recommendations: based on the analysis you have conducted, you are tasked to make recommendations on a maximum of THREE (3) specific, actionable initiatives that could improve project risk management in order to improve project quality in your organization. For each initiative, you need provide the rationale behind the recommendation, the key resources required for its implementation, and the expected outcome.

Summary and Critical reflection: in this section, you are required to reflect and summarize the key learnings from this assignment, the key insights you have obtained and how they could contribute to your future work concerning project management and/or career advancement.
Reference List: Include a list of all the sources we have quoted, paraphrased or referred to in this assignment using APA citation style.
