Please provide a written 2-page analysis of the Ducor Chemical Case based on the below questions:
What gaps in communication did you observe?
Did the project appear to be planned correctly?
What would you recommend to resolve the current situation?

The objective of this assignment is to develop a risk management plan for a given project. Students will learn how to identify, assess, and manage risks associated with the project, and develop strategies to mitigate or avoid those risks.
Instructions:
Identify the risks: Identify potential risks associated with the project. These could include technical risks, financial risks, legal risks, environmental risks, or any other risks that may be relevant to the project.
Assess the risks: Once you have identified the risks, assess their likelihood and potential impact on the project. Use a risk matrix or any other risk assessment tool to rank the risks according to their severity.
Create a risk register based on the identified risks.
Develop a risk management plan: Based on the results of the risk assessment, develop a risk management plan. This should include strategies to mitigate or avoid the identified risks, as well as contingency plans in case the risks materialize.
Present your plan: Present your risk management plan in a presentation. The presentation should include: 
An introduction to the project
A summary of the identified risks
The results of the risk assessment
The risk management strategies you have developed. 
Note: Be sure to include any relevant diagrams or charts (see the risk management templates in Module 8) to support your findings in your presentation. 
Deliverable:
Presentation on Risk Management for your project
Your presentation should contain at least 4 slides that correspond with the sections listed above. Include a paragraph of speaker’s notes for each slide.

As you are now aware, there are many project management tools available on the market, each with strengths and weaknesses and applicability to specific project requirements. A valuable attribute for a project manager is the ability to understand these strengths and limitations and how to maximize the value of the selected tool to ensure the success of their project.
Complete an Internet search of project risk management tools. Select three tools.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words for each tool:
Where do you see this being a limitation for an organization? Why?
Which feature would help the most? Why?

In Assignment 2, we are preparing a high level WBS based on the Requirements Traceability Matrix you completed in Assignment 1. Assignment 2 is not the complete WBS because it does not decompose the work to the work package level. That will be done by the subject-matter experts and their staff. Your goal, as project manager, is to provide the big picture relationship between the deliverables. Use the Excel template provided and follow the more detailed instructions. If you don’t understand the requirements for Assignment 2, please ask a question in the Ask your Instructor forum.

Overview and Rationale
In order to demonstrate proficiency with the content in this course we will complete a number of different assignments to validate your learning – and allow you to implement relevant practices a real-world setting. Program Level – Student Learning Outcomes:
Describe the importance of the monitoring and controlling process group through incorporation of key tools, techniques, and processes
Explain the change control process and necessary activities associated with project integration
Summarize the processes to monitor project performance using Earned Value Management and other analytics
Use performance reporting to update project progress
Identify techniques associated with managing changes to the project schedule and cost performance baselines
Best practices continue to evolve in the project management space. As a project management practitioner, it is important to continue learning in the field, make sense of the current state of best practices and work to apply these. For this semester long project, choose a “current” topic to explore over the semester. in the project monitoring and controlling space Assume that you are a project manager for your organization’s Project Management Office – which is organizing an internal conference for project practitioners! You have been invited research good practices for an emerging topic in the project management monitoring and controlling field and present at the conference. Below are several sample topics though this is the opportunity to explore a topic you would like to learn more about.

Reaserch paper on the role of data analysis in managing projects. The paper should reflect the writer perspective in new/ untraditional way of managing the project. The paper should not be a collection of previously puplished papers or articles. 

Attached is my final paper I wrote. Please use the paper to write a two page summary on what my term focus is going to be on which is entering Saudi Arabia manufacturing industry. Basically summarize the 6 page paper I shared with you to two pages. Make sure the paper starts with “For my term focus”
Class instructions:
FOCUS: The paper should succinctly state your term focus in its opening paragraph. For example, “For my term focus, I am going to study the solar panel manufacturing industry in each country we examine to understand where the best opportunities might exist for a locating a regional startup in this field. As part of this study, I will investigate the state of currently employed technology as well as what is in the commercialization pipeline of local manufacturers; what is currently imported; the size of the current market and future projections of that market; the laws and incentives that support, impede and or encourage that industry and the costs of production and potential sales volume (ie. the business proposition) …”

Risk management professionals work with businesses and organizations on identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks and determining processes for changes. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI) Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® Examination Content Outline and Specifications, the following knowledge areas are essential to the successful practice of project risk management:
Domain I: Risk Strategy and Planning
Domain II: Risk Identifications
Domain III: Risk Analysis
Domain IV: Risk Response
Domain V: Monitor and Close Risks
Note: Domains I & II start on page 8 of the PMI Examination Content Outline and Specifications.
Review the tasks under Domain I: Risk Strategy and Planning, and Domain II: Risk Identification.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: 
Choose a task from each Domain and explain why that task is important to the overall project risk planning. What tools or resources could assist with each task?

Download and fill out the table identifying the top 3 factors that you think limit your ability to meet the goals of a project. For each factor, you should have a minimum of 3 sentences that detail why and/or how you feel this factor can limit project success.
