Communication and Reporting

Assume your company has to manage a large convention. You expect approximately 10,000 attendees, spanning four days. Your company is responsible for securing a venue, negotiating contracts with the venue, caterer, logistics contractor, hotels, and transportation services. Your customer is an agency of the Federal government, and has warned you that changes may occur in the scope of the project as planning proceeds.

1. At which all stages of the project, such as booking of the venue and contracting a caterer, should you communicate the risks to the customer?
2. Are there risks and advantages associated with providing the risk information to the customer? Explain and provide reasons for your answers.
3. If changes occur to the scope of the project, will the risks also change? Provide an example each of a change in scope for the project that would and would not result in a change in the risk.

Participation Requirements:

• Submit your initial post as early in the week as possible. Before the end of the week, respond to at least two of your peers' initial posts. In your responses, ask questions, share thoughts, challenge ideas, and help your peers expand their posts and ideas. You add substantive value to your posts whenever you support your ideas with references from the textbook, the ITT Tech Virtual Library, or credible Web sites.
• Your initial post should be more than 100 words, and your response post should be more than 50 words each.
• Do not merely say, "I agree" or "Good post," because neither of these responses has any new information to sustain the discussion. Rather, your responses to your peer's post must be a thoughtful and detailed exchange of thoughts and ideas about the relevant topic. Be polite and respectful of your peer's opinions. You may disagree, but do so in a constructive manner.
