The SITC took the risk management process and the Y2K insights gained through the certification program, and developed a 2-day risk management workshop. The workshop is highly interactive and the results are consensus based. The output of the workshop is a risk management plan with actionable items based on mitigation strategies. All components of the plan will be determined during the workshop and some areas will be completed. Authors and due dates will be assigned to all other areas.
All results are confidential.
Workshop participants should represent the project s management and technical personnel. Other stakeholders should include representatives from the CIO s staff and perhaps someone with knowledge of the system users and the state legislature. The workshop is conducted with significant participation from the attendees. Everyone should attend with the expectation of contributing his or her perspective. With the tools, training and experience from the workshop, some of the participants should be able to repeat the process in other areas and on other programs.
