USDA Performance Management Course
In this first activity, you'll practice identifying project risks for a fictitious WBT project. Imagine you are a Senior Instructional Designer with Pro Learning Force, Inc. Pro Learning Force specializes in training and performance improvement. Your company just won its first training contract with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and hopes to become USDA’s go-to training provider by delivering a successful product on time and within budget. Your supervisor has asked you to be Technical Lead on this engagement, so (in addition to your instructional design duties) you’ll manage the course development process and a 3-person development team (Instructional Designer, Graphic Designer, Multimedia Developer). This is your first time leading a development project and you've just completed the following preliminary scope statement.

What Risks Do You See?
Using the preliminary scope statement, brainstorm three potential project risks and post them in the Wiki. When brainstorming your project risks, you may find it helpful to recall the four categories of risks: Technical, External, Organizational, and Project Management. In addition, reviewing the risks others have posted may help you to think of new ones. This is similar to how in a brainstorming session, one idea fuels another idea. To post your risks, click "edit" for this section.

Example risk: The SME is not available when needed.
 * 508 compliance is not achieved in the first version of the WBT. Phonebein (talk) 21:29, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
