1. Company FTZ is a company that manufactures telecommunications equipment and provides support services to telecommunication operators globally. It concentrates on being able to design, manufacture, deliver and provide project management services to its key customers in Malaysia.

3. Project risk management is the process of identifying, analyzing and responding to any risk that arises over the life cycle of a project to help the project remain on track and meet its goal. Risk management isn’t reactive only; it should be part of the planning process to figure out the risk that might happen in the project and how to control that risk if it in fact occurs.

a) Conduct a Risk Management process and identify the top 3 risks complete with the risk response strategies.

Risk management can mean different things on different types of projects. On large-scale projects, risk management strategies might include extensive detailed planning for each risk to ensure mitigation strategies are in place if project issues arise. For smaller projects, risk management might mean a simple, prioritized list of high, medium, and low priority risks.

A risk is anything that could potentially impact your project’s timeline, performance, or budget. Choose the best project management structure that will ensure success for your project and explain why.
