Complete Section 3 – Risk Analysis and Assessment, of the risk management plan by developing a risk matrix that will be used to assess the probability of risks for your chosen case study or work project.

As adults pondered costly and time-consuming major modifications to either the bridge or the truck, a child who was among the onlookers said, “Hey, why don’t you just let some of the air out of the tires?”
You never know who will have a solution to your problem. It is not always the experts who come up with the best ideas.
