PROJECT: Re-design County Animal Shelter
PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY: This County is in need of a re-developed animal shelter. My project entails redesigning the local animal shelter by making it more efficient and safer for the shelter animals and staff. The building is over thirty years old and is in need of a lot of reconstruction to make it a safe environment and something that will ensure disease protection to all the animals at the shelter.

Risk Identification I have made a list of all areas that might cause project delays or failure with their respective outcomes (see numerical list below). The five risks I have chosen as key risks are bolded below and appear in the Risk Assessment Table.
1. Delay in getting appropriate permits approved. Department Form # AW-1 needs approved, IACUC inspection for animal safety and welfare needed as well. 2. Delay in caging material and other needed materials for project completion. This is lack of needed items to re-build shelter cages inside and outside. 3. Weather issues causing delay in outside work. This could cause construction delays on the roof and the outside fencing area. 4. Cost risk-over budget. This would include running out of money to fund the entire project if more money is needed. This is a non-profit organization and the amount of funding is being donated to re-design the shelter. 5. Equipment delay. Equipment needed to complete the project is delayed. Un-availability of equipment. Equipment availability is important as well. 6. Communication breakdown. This is a big risk that must be brought up because in the shelter environment there is a key component to keep disease at a minimum. The set-up of the shelter is very crucial to the shelter animals. 7. Unproductivity. This is a huge problem when project deadlines must be met. This project requires multiple steps to get it done
