Introduction The role of risk management holds an integral role for the deployment of the activities favouring the deployment of the improved operations. Risk management holds an integral role for aligning the factors of risk and forming mitigation strategies for supporting the deployment of the effective operations for the organization. The risk management is also helpful for supporting the deployment of the operations favouring the management of the successive integration of the improved operation development. The project of Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University is a construction project and it would involve the implication of the successive risk mitigation strategies so that the project can be successfully mitigated. The formation of the operations would also be helpful for forming the deployment of the risk assessment. The use of Prince2 methodology is helpful for overcoming the deployment of the project activities. |
Importance of quality risk management The quality risk management is helpful for analysing the risk factors that are associated with the deployment of the successive improvement operations. The quality risk management holds an integral role for the project of ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’. The benefits of implying quality risk management are, Improved efficiency: The major benefit of using quality risk management holds an integral role for increasing the performance of the operations of the project. The development of the activities favouring the implication of the effective functions would help in easing the operations of teaching rooms refurbishment. Work Safety: The work safety would be implied for forming the utilization of the activities supporting the implication of the operations favouring the alignment of the activities favouring the effective work safety modulation. The construction project would require the work safety implication so that the refurbishment can be done while the workers would stay in safe working environment. Efficient Resource Distribution: The efficient distribution of the resources is a major factor that would be helpful for using the implication of the distribution of the resources would be eased by the use of the project operations. The utilization of the improved resource analysis would be helpful for listing the modification of the teaching rooms. |
Potential Impact of ignoring risk management processes The risks in construction project can result in forming major hindrance in forming completion of the project of ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’. The problems of ignoring the risk management process are, Absence of Project Monitoring: The absence of project monitoring is a major factor that would form the impact on the development of the project completion. The project of refurbishment would require the constant monitoring for construction activities. The ignorance of monitoring would result in forming the problems of completion of the project. The slackness in monitor would result in forming the issues of the project completion. Issues in health and safety: The construction activities of ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’ project would require the assurance of health safety for the workers involved in the project. It is possible that due to the ignorance of safety facilities would result in forming the major hindrance in completion of the activities of the project. |
Critical Analysis of Prince2 methodology According to Demirkesen and Ozorhon (2017), the Prince2 methodology is an innovative methodology for managing the progress of the project. The term Prince stands of Projects in controlled environment and it is a process based methodology that is structured for overcoming the issue of disasters in the project operations. The implication of the effective management of the operations for listing the deployment of the operations. The Prince2 framework for the project of ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’ would involve the inclusion of the elements of organized and control planning, organized and control execution, and controlled closure. Prince2 have a series of processes favoring the involvement of the activities so that improved operation can be implemented (Kuchta and Ptaszynska 2017). Prince2 forms a single common goal for all the stakeholders of the project and it would narrow down the scope in detail so that all the activities can be aligned successfully. |
Conclusion Hence, it is evident from the report that the risk management is very crucial for the ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’ project completion. The quality risk management would ensure that the activities would be aligned for overcoming the probability of developing the finite solution to the appropriate deliverance to the project. The implementation of the successive risk assessment would also be helpful for listing the factors that would harm the project and kitchen refurbishment. The quality risk management is a must for the alignment of the operations favouring the deployment of the operations for the ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’ project. |
Recommendations Some recommendations for effective risk management of the project of ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’ is given in below, Use of Risk Management tools: Risk management tools risk priority matrix and risk assessment matrix would be helpful for forming the development of the activities favouring the alignment of the improved operational development. Implementation of Quality Management Process: The implication of the quality management is a major factor that would help in forming the alignment of the quality assessment for the construction activities of teaching rooms refurbishment. |
Conclusion
It can be concluded from the report that the project of ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’ had been developed by aligning project management principles and operations. The implementation of the project initiation report had tended to form the use of the tools like project initiation document, risk management strategy, project schedule, and a short report for the project sponsor. The project initiation document had included the elements of project background, project definition (aims, objectives, scope, deliverables, constraints, and assumptions), risk analysis, key staff and stakeholder analysis, and timescales had been represented. The Gantt chart had been made for showing the project plan of ‘Teaching rooms refurbishment of Queen’s building of Roehamption University’ and it would also be helpful for aligning the use of the effective operation development. The risk register developed has shown 10 risks of the project. The risk management strategy was developed for easing the flow of successive integration of the operations for the project.
