The ATA’s east Timor solar project focuses on using sustainable technologies. The proper communication between resources, skills, and material availability helps in completing the project with limited cost and time. The organization wants to be expertise by development risks management plan for the completion of the project.
The scope of the project is to focus on the risk management cycle which should be undertaken for the successful completion of the project. The analysis of the requirements and assumption helps in understanding the cause of potential delays. The assumptions can be made which should be sensible, logical, and based on facts for the development of the risks management plan.
The following table helps in identifying risks associated with the ATA’s east Timor solar project:
Risks |
Description |
Information and research |
“The effectiveness and efficiency of the project depends on the collection of information related with the project” (Tooley, 2012). By indulging physical site assessment technique helps in diagnosing the real situation. |
Transport |
The equipment transportation is the time consuming process. The strategies should be built to resolve the transportation issues of the goods |
Communication |
The inefficient communication system slow down the process of planning and which in turn results in delay of the project. |
Capacity building |
The capacity building is the key area for dividing the roles and responsibilities among the individuals. |
Working with local organization |
The cultural difference is the major issues associated with it |
Relationship with external organization |
Sponsorship is the major concern area to required money for the completion of the project |
Power Issue |
Cutting of the power decreases the working capability of the organization |
Less experienced labour |
It affects the working capability of the organization |
Language barrier |
The language is the major barrier for motivating the stakeholders |
Use of local Supplier |
Non-availability of the local supplier |
Concern of health and safety |
There are no health and safety procedures to develop security to the working employees |
The risks associated with the ATA’s east Timor solar project can be resolved with the deployment of the risks management cycle plan. The setting of priorities is based on assumption for managing the risks efficiently.
Stages |
Action Plan |
Risks Identification phase |
The physical site analysis of the ATA’s project helps in identifying the risks associated with the project are transportation of the goods and resources, communication, capacity building, working of the local organization, relationship with external organization, power issues, language barriers, use of local supplier, and concern of health and safety issues |
Risk assessment |
“The priority should be associated with the risks identified which are based on assumptions” (Rao, 2014). The magnitude of the risks should be identified for increasing the capability of the decision making. |
Planning and resourcing |
The use f preventive plan and comprehensive plan helps in developing risk mitigating strategies |
Implementation, monitoring, and control |
The tracking of the risks helps in achieving the project success. |
The risks associated with the ATA’s east Timor solar project can be resolved with deployment of risks management cycle within the working curriculum of the solar project:
The following diagram shows the procedure how the Ata’s project going to manage their risks associated with the completion of the solar project:
The following table shows the probability chart and mitigation strategies which should be undertaken for the successful completion of the ATA’s solar project.
Risk Identified |
Probability |
Frequency |
Priority |
Risk Mitigation strategies |
Transportation of the goods |
High |
Monthly |
High |
The local organization of the area should be promoted to provide goods and resources according to the demand raised by the new project |
Communication |
High |
Daily |
High |
“The implementation of indirect and direct communication methodologies helps in resolving the issues and conflicts of the working employees and they feel attached with the project” (Owens, 2010). The consideration should be given on culture and values of the local people. |
Capacity building |
Medium |
Daily |
Low |
The performance of the employees can be measured and improved with the use of key performance indicators. It helps in setting the target for the employees to improve their efficiency and skills. |
Working of local organization |
Low |
Periodic |
Medium |
The working with local organization helps in overcoming the problem of cultural differences. The local partnership should be developed for providing material and equipment according to the demand and requirement of the project. |
Relationship with external organization |
High |
Periodic |
High |
“The good and healthy relationship should be developed with the external parties to promote sponsorship for the development of the project in the local area” (Reddy, 2017). The availability of the money helps in completing the project with ease within the allocated time and budget. |
Power Issues |
Low |
Daily |
Low |
“The issues of power supply can be resolved because the deployment of these project required very little amount of power supply i.e. equivalent to 12V” (Muller, 2015). The installation of the project can be easily done. |
Language barrier |
Low |
Daily |
High |
“The interpreter should be involved to overcome the problem of language” (Moser, 2017). The local people of the area can understand the language of the interpreter which helps in improving the working performance of the labour. It helps in giving emphasis to the values of the culture associated with the local people which helps in making good and healthy relationship with them |
Use of Local Supplier |
Medium |
Periodic |
Low |
The experienced labour should be incorporated in the working platform of the project because they can predict the occurrence of the risks in advance for which proactive techniques can be developed. |
Concern of health and safety. |
High |
Daily |
High |
The standard should be built for the consideration given in the area of health and safety of the workers. The two approaches which are used for promoting health and safety program are use of occupational health and safety program and monitoring and tracking of the follow up of the policies and standards within the working curriculum of the project or not. |
“The analysis of the stakeholder is the crucial responsibility for the successful completion of the project within time and budget” (Ma, 2011). The performance of the employees can be measured and improved with the use of key performance indicators. It helps in setting the target for the employees to improve their efficiency and skills. The success of the project provides big opportunity to deploy bigger project within the area. The project should be completed within the period of 12 to 18 months.
