Sources of Technical Risks

In your required reading by Fontaine (2016), examine the information on technical risks to projects:

1. Identify an “intolerable technical risk” on a project with which you are familiar, or on one that you can research.
2. Describe the issue that created the intolerable technical risk and describe the risk itself.
3. Describe the treatment plan using cost-benefit analysis, where the risk severity is reduced to an acceptable level. (A risk register is not required for the paper with this option.)

Submission Requirements:

• For this assignment, prepare a paper for submission to a conference or journal for publication.
• You may submit the paper to your choice of outlet (conference or journal). Since I may be charged for the submission to some outlets, you should examine options for submission by searching the internet to find both the best fit for the paper and the acceptable cost for me(less than 100$). There are many journals and conferences that consider papers for publication. You might consider submitting to PMI Knowledge Shelf or AACEi Conferences (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Another example is The Clute Institute (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., which publishes many journals and hosts conferences.
• In an appendix after your references page, identify the following information for the submission: a) journal or conference name; b) why your paper is best suited for this outlet; and c) the submission guidelines in terms of process, requirements, cost, and general acceptance rates, if stated.
• The paper must be 3 pages long, not including the required title and references pages and the appendix.
• Support the paper with a minimum of two current (no older than five years) scholarly sources, peer reviewed. You must also use the Fontaine (2016) reading as one of the sources in the paper. Of course, you may always exceed the minimum number of sources.
