Overview:
This final project will consist of an 8-10-page proposal that will bring together the
various concepts presented in this course. It is recommended that you continuously
work on and add to your project as you move through each week so that the final result
will evolve seamlessly.
In this proposal, you will identify a risk, its factors, and develop a risk management plan
to combat potential issues that can arise. Every two years the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) establishes a list of agencies and program areas that are
high risk due to various vulnerabilities; their website may be a helpful resource in
identifying a risk to center your proposal around. Think about what you have learned
about risk management over the weeks, the discussions, and what interested you
most. Include relevant topics from each unit as you develop your paper.
