Sources of Technical Risks

Sources of Technical Risks

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

Identify      an "intolerable technical risk" on a project with which you are      familiar, or on one that you can research.

Describe      the issue that created the intolerable technical risk and describe the      risk itself.

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, you will be preparing your paper for submission to a      conference or journal for publication, as well as submitting the paper to      your instructor.

You      may submit the paper to your choice of outlet (conference or journal).      Since you may be charged for your submission to some outlets, you should      examine options for submission by searching the internet to find both the      best fit for your paper and the acceptable cost to you. There are many      journals and conferences that consider papers for publication. You might      consider submitting to PMI      Knowledge Shelf or AACEi Conferences )Another example is The Clute Institute (Links      to an external site.), which publishes many journals and hosts      conferences. Note that some journals accept undergraduate and/or graduate      submissions. Visit the Council for Undergraduate Research (Links to an      external site.) to learn more. Read about the journal and the      types of research it is interested in publishing. Make sure you understand      the journal's submission guidelines. Some outlets require submissions in      APA format and some do not; and some have special accommodations for      student publications.

This      assignment does not require the student to submit the paper for      publication, but it does require the student to prepare a scholarly paper      **for potential submission to a selected publication outlet **with all the      requisite academic and practical content in a format as stated in the      publication guidelines. Again, the assignment includes that the student      should identify the outlet and deliver the scholarship and format of the      paper in accordance with that publication's style guidelines. The      professor will not submit your paper to the publication outlet as that is      at the discretion of the student. Actual submission to the outlet is not      part of the assignment requirements, but submission in the outlet's style      guideline format to the instructor is.

In an      appendix after your references page, identify the following information      for your 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.

Your      paper must be 7 pages long, not including the required title and      references pages and the appendix.

Submit      your paper in the format required by your selected outlet. (For example,      if the outlet requires papers to be single spaced, then use single      spacing.)

Support      your paper with a minimum of two current (no older than five years)      scholarly sources from the Library, in addition to any course lecture      material you wish to use. You must also use the Fontaine (2016) reading as      one of the sources in your paper. Of course, you may always exceed the      minimum number of sources.

Your      entire paper must be formatted according to the APA format.
