Risk Management Plan

Introduction

Any store that wishes to monitor transactions and keep track of sales information needs a point of sale (POS) system. However, there are always potential hazards that must be recognized and addressed to guarantee project success with any technical endeavor. A risk management plan can help with that.

In a risk management plan, hazards that might occur during a project are listed along with how they will be avoided or reduced and what steps will be taken if they happen. Risks for a POS project could include difficulties with user uptake, security lapses, unforeseen costs, and delays in implementation.

To further develop a risk management plan for a Point-of-Sale System, the following information should be considered:

  • Identifying and Assessing Risks: The Point-of-Sale System’s development, implementation, and operation may be subject to hazards, which the project team should identify. Technical problems, vendor dependence, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, and human factors are just a few of the many potential sources of risk. Risks should be identified and then evaluated for both chance of occurrence and potential effects on the project.
  • Risk Mitigation Strategies: After identifying and assessing risks, the project team should develop a plan for mitigating or avoiding the risks. Mitigation strategies should be prioritized based on their effectiveness in reducing risk and their feasibility in terms of time and cost. Strategies may include contingency planning, redundancy, risk transfer through insurance, and the development of fallback procedures.
  • Contingency Planning: The project team should develop contingency plans for significant risks that could significantly impact the project's success. Contingency plans should outline the steps required to minimize the impact of the risk and maintain the project's progress. These plans should be regularly reviewed and updated as the project progresses, and new risks are identified.
  • Risk Monitoring and Review: Risk management is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring and review. The project team should establish a regular review process to ensure that risk management strategies remain effective, risks are updated, and new risks are identified. The review process should be transparent, with all stakeholders being updated on any changes.

The Point-of-Sale System project team can guarantee the project is effectively finished, achieving all objectives while avoiding potential risks by considering these extra elements in a risk management plan.

Top Three Risks

The project's top three risks are:

    1. Failures of hardware or software: The failure of hardware or software components is one of the biggest risks in a POS project. This may lead to a loss of sales, and system downtime. The project team should choose the best hardware and software to carry out thorough testing and quality assurance procedures and create backup plans in case of hardware or software failures to reduce this risk.

    2. Unexpected costs: POS projects can be expensive, and unexpected costs can easily send the project off course. The project team should do a thorough cost analysis at the project's start and create a comprehensive budget to reduce this risk. Contingency plans should also be created for unforeseen costs, and the project team should keep a careful eye on costs throughout the project.

    3. Human Error: Although human error is a known risk factor, it is also a characteristic of human nature and cannot be completely avoided. Through training, process enhancements, automation, and the implementation of the project team frequently concentrates on reducing human error.

Risk Management Approach

This document provides a thorough overview of the various risks and vulnerabilities related to POS systems and presents a methodical methodology to effectively reduce and manage these risks.

    1. Identify Risks: The project team will identify the project-related risks through reviewing of related software/projects and brainstorming. Steps like gathering information, brainstorming, and analyzing are a great procedure for identifying the risks.

    2. Assess Risks: after identifying risks, risk assessment is a process that involves evaluating the potential risk of the Point of Sale (POS) system. This is where ranking comes in each risk is grouped by rank.

    3. Vulnerability Analysis: This is where the examination of the identified risks happens. Including the hardware, software, database etc. The analysis helps the group to understand the potential weakness of the project.

    4. Risk Monitoring: The Point of Sale (POS) system's risk management method includes risk monitoring as a crucial step. This procedure entails recording, evaluating, and reviewing identified risks systematically to ensure they are effectively managed over their lifespan. To protect the security, stability, and compliance of the POS system, risk monitoring aims to offer continual oversight and allow prompt reaction and mitigation steps.

    5. Risk Communication: A critical component of the Point of Sale (POS) system's risk management procedure is risk communication. To promote a shared understanding and support well-informed decision-making, this process entails the timely and efficient exchange of information concerning recognized risks amongst stakeholders. Risk communication is to increase the overall robustness of the POS system, encourage openness, and make proactive risk management possible

Risk Identification

It is crucial to consider a variety of factors that can affect the security, functionality, and data integrity of a Point of Sale (POS) system when detecting hazards. Listed below are the list of common risks to consider:

  • Unauthorized Access
  • Hardware Failures
  • Software Failures
  • Power Outages

In the entire risk management framework for any project, including the Point of Sale (POS) system, the process of risk identification is of the highest priority. It entails methodically identifying and cataloging any hazards that can negatively affect the security, effectiveness, and operation of the system.

Risk Qualification and Prioritization

The probability of risks happening and their impact on the project is described below:

  • High: Risks with a high probability of occurring and a significant impact on the project. These risks require immediate attention, and we need to develop mitigation strategies for them.
  • Medium: Risks with a medium probability of occurring and a moderate impact on the project. These risks should be closely monitored, and mitigation strategies should be developed in case they occur.
  • Low: Risks with a low probability of occurring and a minor impact on the project. These risks can be monitored periodically, and mitigation strategies can be developed in case they occur.

Risk Monitoring

The Risk Management Plan of the Bregghan Point of Sale System, provides framework for monitoring risks throughout the project. It is a requirement to continuously monitor risks during the project’s lifespan.

For a project to be executed successfully and to reduce any risks that could surface during its lifespan, the project manager's involvement in managing risk monitoring is essential. Working closely with the project team and stakeholders to retain visibility and control over hazards, the project manager adopts a proactive strategy to discover, analyze, and monitor risks.

Risk Mitigation and Avoidance

The method of managing risks for the Point of Sale (POS) system focuses on risk reduction and avoidance. These tactics are designed to lessen the possibility and effects of recognized risks on the system's operations, compliance, and security. Organizations may proactively safeguard the integrity and dependability of the POS system by putting into place efficient risk reduction and avoidance strategies.

The project team should identify the risks with the highest possibility and develop plans to avoid them. The following are the key points or options available to the project manager:

  • Risk Mitigation: carry out a thorough analysis to comprehend the nature, consequences, and likelihood of detected hazards. This assessment serves as a basis for creating specialized mitigating measures.
  • Risk Assessment: after identifying risks, risk assessment is a process that involves evaluating the potential risk of the Point of Sale (POS) system. This is where ranking comes in each risk is grouped by rank.
  • Contingency Planning: A crucial step in the risk management procedure for the Point of Sale (POS) system is contingency planning. To manage and lessen the effects of prospective risks and disruptive occurrences, it entails developing and documenting a set of specified actions, processes, and strategies. By limiting downtime and any negative effects in the case of unforeseen occurrences, contingency planning aims to maintain the POS system's resilience and continuity.
  • Communication: A key component in the Point of Sale (POS) system's risk reduction process is effective communication. It is essential for ensuring that pertinent stakeholders are aware of, involved with, and supportive of the plans and actions taken to reduce risk. To improve information sharing, encourage cooperation, and advance a common knowledge of the risks and mitigation actions inside the company, communication related to risk mitigation serves these purposes.
  • Agile Approach: Risk management may be done in a flexible and quick manner by using the Agile methodology. The team's use of the Agile approach, which permits continual risk management and the capacity for change, must be ensured by the project manager.
  • Change Management: Risk management may be done in a flexible and quick manner by using the Agile methodology. The team's use of the Agile approach, which permits continual risk management and the capacity for change, must be ensured by the project manager.
  • Risk Register

    A risk register is a thorough record that systematically captures and documents all identified risks in a project or organization. It acts as a central storage of vital details for each risk, such as its description, potential consequences, likelihood, status, and assigned responsibilities. The risk register aids in streamlining risk management by offering a consolidated overview of the risks, facilitating prioritization, monitoring, and the implementation of suitable measures to address and mitigate potential hazards.

    The following criteria will be used for the risk register:

    • Risk ID: Every risk will receive an individual identification number.
    • Risk Description: Thorough clarification of the possible adverse outcomes or effects linked to the risk.
    • Risk Category: Identification of broad themes or key areas of concern associated with the risks.
    • Risk Owner: The task of monitoring and managing each risk will be assigned to a responsible individual or team.
    • Probability: Evaluation of the likelihood or frequency at which the risk is expected to occur.
    • Impact: Assessment of the potential outcomes or ramifications that could arise from a risky event.

    Procurement Management Plan

    Introduction

    This project's Procurement plan plays a vital role in succeeding the following deliverables as this shows the plans that will be taken as part of the planning process for the program or service. The main idea behind procurement is that proactive scheduling, planning, and bulk buying lead to financial savings, effective corporate operations, and improved value for money.

    Bregghan Mini Grocery Stores procurement come from a specific supplier for the items called “Suy Sing” where it serves as the primary base of the mini grocery stores needs during operation hours. This procurement plan will define the projects’ needs and cost as well as the contracts that will be used and this will show the flow that the mini grocery store works in conjunction with Suy Sing to resupply the needs. Of course, risks are without a doubt a part of the procurement plan especially during the pandemic where it limits the incoming items for the mini grocery store it will also be shown in this procurement plan how the project team will mitigate the risks that is being given to avoid loss of sales and utilize the bregghan distribution between customers and suppliers. Therefore with the monitoring of contracts used and deadlines covered with the suppliers, this procurement management plan will also show the constraints the the project team might face during the creation of the project.

    Procurement Risks

    Procurement plays a big part in determining the different situations the project team might face as we know the risks connected to and the likelihood that procurement processes will fail. Therefore, the team must evaluate procurement risks to optimize their supply chain and reduce the risk of fraud, subpar products, delayed delivery, and cost overruns. In current times Bregghan might be able to face different risks for procurement of the process during work times these includes of course the following:

    • Poor vendor selection may affect the operations to be needed. Without proper vendor management the team will offer more time fixing problems and creating solutions rather than improving the project.
    • An external hazard like the pandemic may affect the store sales and resupplying of goods from the supplier due to heightened restrictions in the store area.
    • Rehabilitation of streets is frequent in the area which may result in a narrower street which is hard for the suppliers of the store to reach it.
      • Procurement Risk Management

        Procurement risk management of the project will provide the necessary means because this field determines internal and external project risks. Eliminating circumstances that place your firm at unwarranted, heightened risk is a requirement for effective risk management and to mitigate risks that will affect the project deployment in the long term.

        The risks that the project team may face during the sprint may occur at any given events however the project team have prepared different risk management strategies in order to avoid events that may affect the procurement for the client and the team and ensure contact with the supplier to maintain 100% functions of all procurement services that is important to the project:

          1. Standard Procurement Processes so that everyone on the project team is aware of the procedures they must adhere to guarantee that all data is accurate, whole, and up to date.

          2. Ensure communications between the project team, suppliers, and the client always will avoid unnecessary decisions being made. Progress reports are mandatory to ensure the project teams track the deliverables that need to be met by said dates.

          3. Specific Roles are assigned to every one of the project team to avoid confusions on task and improve the development and productivity of the product. This will also help since each team member may be able to recognize and resolve issues like delays or a lack of resources with the assistance of this accountability.

          4. Document changes made during each time will make tracking of changes easier and produce better solutions each time deliverables at specific time are satisfactory. Reviews of procurement risks will contain areas that may offer improvement within the service or the final product.

          5. Automated procurement processes indicate a faster procurement process and an absence of the requirement for approvals. The team members can focus on their main duties rather than spending time on rewriting errors and pursuing signatures.

          Cost Determination

          Project Team Aurora will determine its cost of services from outside vendors with full information to contract and regular monitoring of costs that affects the budget in order to maintain the project budget the costs for the said services will undergo as planned in order to response to the request for proposals. The stakeholder as well as the project manager will collaborate with one another together with the project team to carefully proceed with the costs with regular record or monitoring and follows the budget estimates created for each event that may take place during the sprint. Therefore this cost estimation plan will be the project team’s means of progress to the budget that is being used in the service that is associated with outside vendors and be used within the creation of the project.

          Procurement Constraints

          This part is given to ensure the project's key to success, these constraints and hazards must be handled. The project team should keep an eye out for the constraints indicated below to ensure that the process is as error-free and error-free as feasible.

          • Cost Constraint – The project should follow a series of budgets set for the project teams sprint during the creation process. This will illustrate the team’s choices that are available and can be used for the final deliverable within said budget.
          • Resource Constraint – For the Bregghan Point of Sales system it has a specific technical requirements or specification needed to be met to utilize functionality of the product for example the Barcode Scanner and the receipt printer in which are necessaries for the execution of the project without having said resources the team might find it difficult to deliver product to client.
          • Time Constraints – As with delivering the precise updates during the project sprints, time is also a big constraint for the team as each member with given roles follows a specific timestamp to finish a certain task given. If the given task is not finished on time the team may find it to struggle as the things needed to do may stack and lead to confusion room for errors.
          • Quality Constraints – The Project Team ensures that every feature within the project's scope is to be executed within the given time and delivers full quality to the user. These focus on the specific characteristics of the product and make sure that the outcome of the project matches that of the expectations from the developers and the user.

          Contact Approval Process

          • Initiation – – Request for procurement should be made by the project manager in order to initiate the approval process of the procurement of the project.
          • Approval – The request for the procurement plan will be handled accordingly to the stakeholders. All documents are neither approved nor disallowed.
          • Management and Development – Following contract to external vendors will be processed. Purchases made will go through the project team, stakeholders, and the client and be made as legal documentation. This is the creation of the contract with legal effect, laying forth the terms and conditions of business, as well as the specifications or criteria.
