• Establish the project risk context.
• Identify an appropriate risk ranking system
• Determine risk analysis classification criteria
• Classify the identified risks within risk categories
• Determine risk priorities
You will be determining the risks and their context more clearly during the meeting with the project team, but these preliminary notes should demonstrate that you can identify the case study project’s risks yourself.

What if you disagree on the assessment outcome?
You can appeal against a decision made in regards to your assessment. An appeal should only be made if you have been assessed as ‘Not Yet Competent’ against a specific unit and you feel you have sufficient grounds to believe that you are entitled to be assessed as competent. You must be able to adequately demonstrate that you have the skills and experience to be able to meet the requirements of units you are appealing the assessment of.
Your trainer will outline the appeals process, which is available to the student. You can request a form to make an appeal and submit it to your trainer, the course coordinator, or the administration officer. The AHIC will examine the appeal and you will be advised of the outcome within 14 days. Any additional information you wish to provide may be attached to the appeal form.
Academic Integrity:
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
As a student, you are required to:
• Undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
• Ensure that academic work is in no way falsified
• Seek permission to use the work of others, where required
• Acknowledge the work of others appropriately
• Take reasonable steps to ensure other students cannot copy or misuse your work.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and to pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes material sourced from the Internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and unpublished work.
Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being used, which includes:
• Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
• Copying work either in whole or in part
• Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
• Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the author or web page
• Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.
Collusion:
Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of someone else.
Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or student’s external to the RTO. This applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas.
Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
• Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
• Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
• Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
• Write or edit work for another student
• Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.
Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTO’s policy on Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion.
Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students who engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTO’s policy.

Assessment Task 3 Instructions
Carefully read the following:
Assume that one of the risks that you identified in your risk management plan was the inability to attract sufficiently qualified and knowledgeable staff to manage the new retail stores, and that the risk treatment identified is to invest in the training and development of existing staff to fulfil this role, at least in the short term.
It was identified that two of the existing customer service representatives are interested in taking on this new role. Neither of the two customer service representatives have managerial skills nor knowledge, but they both have excellent company and product knowledge, as well as customer service skills. The company funded both of the staff members to attend. These staff members are currently managing the two new stores.
A staff survey was sent to the two members of staff who completed the training, and their responses are collated in the Training Survey Results.
It is now one year later, and the retail stores have now been established in Sydney and Melbourne for five months. Each store employs a Manager, 2 full-time retail assistants and several part-time and casual staff.
Financially, both stores are performing well, and are already covering their own overheads.
A week ago, both managers were asked to give feedback on how they are coping with their new responsibilities, and how the training that they received helped prepare them for the tasks that they perform today. Their responses are collated in the Manager Feedback.
Complete the following activities:
1. Monitor project risk
As set out in the Risk monitoring and review processes section of the Risk Management Plan, regular risk review processes have to be followed to maintain the currency of the Plan.
Monitoring the risk environment regularly helps to identify changed circumstances that may impact on the project risks.
Review the Training Survey Results and the Manager Feedback, as well as the case study information above, and from Assessment Task 2.
Identify changed circumstances impacting project risks
Determine risk responses to changed environment
2. Write a Risk Management Evaluation Report
Develop a report for the General Manager that gives an honest evaluation of how well the staff training performed as a risk management treatment. Your report should include, as a minimum, the following:
• Review the project outcomes to determine the effectiveness of:
o The risk management treatments.
o The risk management processes and procedures.
• Recommended improvements for application to future projects
Describe the changes you would make to your Risk Management Plan to ensure that the risk treatment is more effective the next time a new store is opened.
• Identify circumstances that have changed since you wrote your risk management plan, and how the changes may impact project risks
• Determine risk responses to the changed environment
Use Evaluation Report Template to guide your work.
Your evaluation report should be between half a page and a page long.
3. Send an email to the CEO (your assessor).
The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style.
It should introduce and summarise the contents of the attachment and seek their feedback and approval to move forward with the project.
Attach your evaluation report to the email.
4. Send an email to the store managers (your assessor).
Assume that the General Manager has given approval for you to implement two of the risk responses that you listed in your evaluation report.
Choose the responses that you feel would be most beneficial to the managers and write them a short email to inform them of this.
The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style.
