Communicating Risks Please see attached for details
Scenario:
You are a project manager working in the mortgage banking industry. Your manager asked you to present the status of your project at a project oversight entity get-away. This entity consists of the highest-level executives in the bank. Your manager fears that funding might be cut and that the project might be closed if the information is not properly communicated. You need to ensure that all questions regarding risk communication planning and execution are answered perfectly so that your project is approved. The project needs this approval before it can move to the next phase of the project management life cycle.
Project oversight entity members are not familiar with your risk management communication plan, so you need to be ready to answer all questions about the following:
The communication process
Communication planning activities
Types of communication used to convey statuses to various stakeholders
The steps that you take to recognize and remove barriers to effective communication to ensure that the right people receive the right message at the right time
