...Larry Brown IS3350 Unit 9 Assignment 1 24 May 2914 Risk Mitigantion The most effective risk management practices used by project management in the public and private sectors. The methods described here are appropriate for public- and private-sector project owners’ representatives, including senior managers, program managers, project directors, and project managers. The primary objective of this report is to provide DOE project directors with a basic understanding of both the risk management role of an owner’s representative member of a project management team and the knowledge needed for effective oversight of risk management activities that are delegated to contractors. The report also discusses the roles and responsibilities of senior managers and program managers in developing risk consciousness among all owner, contractor, and supplier personnel by educating them about the importance of explicit consideration of risks and the implementation of an effective risk management process. This document is not intended as a rigid process to be followed for all projects but as a guide for all project stakeholders to ensure that project risks are adequately addressed. Identification and analysis of project risks are required for effective risk management. One cannot manage risks if one does not characterize them to know what they are, how likely they are, and what their impact might be. But project risk management is not limited to the identification and aggregation of...

...Strengths: - Good execution of the strong intro with the internal team member. - Cody does a good job advising the client why he is asking the verification questions. Says, "for security purposes..." - Good job matching the client's tone when he was laughing/joking, as well as not mirroring it when he was showing signs of frustration. Opportunities: - Properly noted/coded. This loan should have been coded as a complaint and it was not. The client said that proper expectations had not been set by previous team members, causing the client to get frustrated and use his time to call us to check on the status of his disbursements. It is important to properly code as a complaint so that internal research can be done and coaching opportunities can be given in order to create a better client experience. - Strong intro. After the CR Servicing team member brought the client on the line, rather than beginning with an introduction of himself, Cody began the call with "Hi Teddy, how are you doing today?" We risk losing control of the phone call when we don't come in with a strong introduction for ourselves. - Proper grammar/language/word choice. (5:52) At the end of the call, Cody advises the client "refinances can be a little bit of a trouble. Anything with mortgages can be a little bit of trouble." Consider re-wording, so as not to portray QL in a poor light. "I can't imagine what you've gone through, Teddy..." - Empathy. (1:50 - 2:10 and throughout phone call) Cody misses...

...Executive Summary on Veteran’s Affairs (VA) and Loss of Private Information IS3350 Unit 2 Assignment 1: Executive Summary on Veteran’s Affairs (VA) and Loss of Private Information Background On 3 May 2006, a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) laptop was stolen from a VA data analyst’s home in Montgomery County, Maryland. In addition to the laptop, a personal external hard drive was stolen. The external hard drive contained the personal data (names, social security numbers, dates of birth, disability ratings) for 26.5 million veterans and their spouses. It should be noted that the massive data theft was only one of many that had been discovered over the course of 1.5 years. Upon discovery of the theft, the VA employee immediately notified the local police and his supervisors. His supervisors did not notify the Veterans Affairs Secretary until 16 May 2006. On 17 May 2006, the Veterans Affairs Secretary notified the FBI, who began to work with the Montgomery County police to investigate the theft. Results and Conclusions Issue 1: The VA employee had authorization to access and use the VA databases for performance of official duties. He was not, however, authorized to take it home as he had no official need to have the data at home. The private data was not properly safeguarded. He failed to password protect (at the very minimum) and encrypt it (Opfer, 2006). For this, he receives the highest honors in the idiot category. Issue 2: The response of managers...

...2.1 Brainstorming During our initial brainstorming our group decided to adapt the 6-3-5 method. We each came up with an idea to best help Sheila cut her apple independently. We then each shared our idea and we critiqued and commented on the deign in an attempt to further improve it. We did this until we had five refined designs we thought would be the best fit for Sheila. We then proceeded to narrow down the design to one design. We had a number of out-of-the-box yet rational designs. One idea consisted of a cutting board with a dull spike mounted down to the table and a hexagonal apple cutter coming down on it using a scissor mechanism. The user would place the apple on the dull mount. They would then pull up on the handle which is connected to the apple cutter as shown in Figure 1 Appendix D. Since the apple cutter is initially above the apple when the handle is pulled up the cutter will go down and cut the apple. After the user is done cutting the apple they pull down on the handle again to remove the apple cutter from the apple and can take their apple pieces off of the cutting board. The user would be able to mount the apple with one hand and also pull on the handle using only one hand. This design eliminated the mirroring force required on both sides by the apple cutters that can be found in stores. Another design that we came up with was involved two apple cutters cutting simultaneously and meeting at the middle. As seen in Figure # the two cutters are attached to...

Peer-to-Peer (“P2P”) file sharing is a way of exchanging or transferring files of which you do not have permission to share can have serious consequences. We have worked hard to compose this new pop song and it is unfair that others are sharing and copying this song without paying for it.
