Risk Management Quality Assurance Plan


Introduction

The purpose of this Risk Management Quality Assurance Plan is to outline the strategies and processes for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with the Smart Home Device Development project. This plan aims to ensure that risks are managed effectively throughout the project lifecycle, enhancing project success and quality.

Objectives

  • To identify and analyze potential risks impacting the project.

  • To develop strategies for mitigating identified risks.

  • To ensure effective monitoring and communication of risk management activities.

Risk Management Framework

1. Risk Identification
