Assignment 3: Planning Considerations for the HR Project

At this point, you've organized your HR project team and you are familiar with the importance of leading and managing the project and team. It is now time to plan your project, which happens to be a large and critical part of project management.

4. Discuss at least three (3) ways the project manager is able to identify possible project risks.
