Project Profile Model

The Project Profile Model indicates that this project has a weighted risk score of {}and is therefore a {} risk (Level {}) project.

Project Risk Management

The purpose of this section is three fold:

1. To alert decision makers to any risks in the project that might be material to the decision making at this point, or need to be resolved prior to a later decision;
2. Confirm to decision makers that a thorough process has evaluated all risks relevant to the stage of the project;
3. To ensure that a program of work is in place to address the major risks identified.

This section should concentrate on the most significant risks – a full risk analysis if completed should be appended.

In the table below, the Estimate of Risk column is optional. It can be used to identify the costs of risks that are not adequately covered by the cost plan and to emphasise areas for further attention. Risks should be given ranges. Examples might include latent conditions in a building or ground, reliance on a major funding contribution from a non-government source or reliance on a related project program and funding.

The section format might include:

A risk management plan will be developed within the Preliminary Business Case. The major project risks identified to date include:
