Recording risks and issues is not something that has been done in previous roles. They will have been spoken about but not put into writing. Written procedures would add clarity and act as a reminder for future work.
I added the risk of people becoming ill if a camel spat at them as it may contain germs which they are not used too.
I have learned that processes can always be broken down into smaller steps and assigning actions to a designated member of the team is invaluable for getting things done.
I don't agree with the actions to mitigate scenario 2. I don't think it would be the project's responsibility to risk assess the dragon cages at the zoo. I had this as "Transfer" - transferring the responsibility of rounding up the dragons and taking all necessary steps to prevent another escape to the zoo staff, and delaying release of spiders until this had been done.
I agree @Charley Bird , I also had Transfer ownership of re-capturing the dragons to the zoo management. They then become key stakeholders and have a great influence on the timeline, so they'd need to be managed as a priority.
I see why you suggested transferring responsibility for the dragons to the zoo, it makes sense that capturing them is their job. In my approach, I included actions like decoy zones and nocturnal releases, which are things our project team could do locally to protect the spiders while still coordinating with the zoo. I think a mix of Reduce and Transfer can work well here, so as to not entirely delay the project with matters out of this projects control.
This was really useful - I project manage internal projects at the moment where the risks / issues are either managed at a senior level, or very well contained. Its a useful exercise to think more broadly about external factors.
I used scenario 1 for this and thought about reducing the risk by running an education campaign around the camels and their spit so the the public was fully informed before the start of the conservation part of the project. Camels in the Uk - not sure they will like the cold though!!
