Abstract
The purpose of this task/assignment is to identify and quantify the potential risk events that the project aimed at improving/developing the streets of New York City might encounter.
The key risk event is insufficient funding since the program’s budget is $1 billion and obtaining this substantial amount might not be easy. This has severe consequences and a very high likelihood. Other major risk events include resistance from the members of public, and lack of cooperation from them given that the project involves a coalition 500 individuals and organizations. These two also have severe consequences.
These three most important risk events require responses based on their impact to the specific project aspects such as schedule and project quality.

Identify and Quantify Risks

Lack of cooperation from the public – Insufficient awareness of the project
Resistance from members of the public – Insufficient awareness of the project

Security – Other uninvited and unknown individuals participating
Lack of support from neighbors - Insufficient awareness of the project
Lack of project experience – Being the first time for the project manager to handle a project of such a magnitude
Being late – Sourcing for sufficient funds may delay the start of the project
Confusion – Lack of proper coordination and organization
Weather Interruption – Severe weather conditions
Low productivity of people involved – Project members/participants being inefficient
Chaos – Lack of proper coordination/organization
Lack of support from community leaders – Insufficient sensitization program
Bad environment – Organizing project meetings on the street
Poor management of the project – Lack of a committed and dedicated project manager
The opportunities to pursue the risk include support from the city management and the state government, and these are particularly important since present a better opportunity of completing ...
