[8 marks] Up to 2 marks for each risk identified: full marks if risk is defined clearly and is relevant to the project; 1 mark for a partial answer. Up to 2 marks for the explanation of the method: 2 marks for explaining ranking by likelihood * impact; 1 mark for incorrect/incomplete description of this, or informal description.

10 Question 1(a) If you need to talk about the details of your project, you must explain enough detail … (a) Describe what you think are the three most important potential risks for your group project not being concluded successfully, and explain how you have come to this conclusion.

12 Question 1(b) (b) There are 4 strategies for dealing with a potential risk: avoid it / reduce the likelihood of it happening / reduce the impact if it happens / accept the risk For each of the risks that you identified in part (a) say which strategy you would use to deal with the risk, and explain your choice. Finally, choose potential examples from your project to illustrate the strategies that you did not discuss in the previous answer. [12 marks]

13 Question 1(b) (b) There are 4 strategies for dealing with a potential risk: avoid it / reduce the likelihood of it happening / reduce the impact if it happens / accept the risk For each of the risks that you identified in part (a) say which strategy you would use to deal with the risk, and explain your choice. Finally, choose potential examples from your project to illustrate the strategies that you did not discuss in the previous answer. [12 marks] Up to 3 marks for each of the risks identified in (a): within this 1 mark for the strategy and up to two marks for explaining the choice (2 marks if entirely satisfactory; 1 for partial). Up to 3 marks for the illustrations chosen here. Note that there may be different numbers due to the particular risks chosen by the candidates. Note also that the question doesn’t ask for rationales, so we should not deduct marks for their absence.
