In it, you must include the concepts studied in weeks 4 and 5, accompanied by at least one or more of the risk assessment techniques used, such as risk assessment grid or project risk picture. You must identify potential risks in addition to your research on the project and its site by stating a clear outline of how these will be managed.

Your stakeholder management p should be approximately 1200 words. In it, you must follow an appropriate, professional presentation style addressing the South Australian government (who have commissioned the project) and include the identification of the various stakeholders, their interest and influence over the project, and a clear outline of the engagement strategy for each stakeholder group.
