PJM 5300 Project Risk Management sample papers, module by module

Reviewed by Edgar Pennington, MBA · Project Risk Management · Thomas Edison State University · Free custom samples in 24–48h

PJM-5300 follows the risk process from planning to closure on a single project. The samples here follow one composite contract packager in Somerset installing a $2.4 million blister packaging line for a pharmaceutical client, through a risk management plan, a ten-risk register, three-point estimates for the start date, expected monetary value and a decision tree, and a trigger that fired at a factory visit.

Send the exact assignment or rubric from your classroom and a custom sample written to it lands in 24 to 48 hours, the first one free. PJM-5300 is TESU’s Project Risk Management course. It covers risk management plans, numeric probability and impact scales, thresholds and reserves, identification techniques and the PERIL database, cause, event and effect statements, PERT and schedule probability, expected monetary value, decision trees, Monte Carlo simulation, triggers, risk audits and lessons learned.

What PJM-5300 is really about

Kendrick’s Identifying and Managing Project Risk, third edition, anchors the course, whose five modules begin with Risk Planning through Risk Identification, Activity Risk Analysis and Management, and Project Risk Analysis and Management to Monitoring and Closure.

Case studies apply each stage to a project, two of them with live sessions in Modules 3 and 5. The final project of 15 to 20 pages applies a range of risk management principles to a project of the student’s choosing.

What PJM-5300’s assessments ask for

Five discussions carry 20 percent, four written assignments 20 percent, three exercises 10 percent, four case studies 30 percent and the final project 20 percent.

Where students lose points in PJM-5300

Marks go on generic risk plans, probability defined in words, risks stated as vague worries, registers without owners, standard deviations added instead of variances, expected value read as a forecast and projects closed without an audit or lessons.

The PJM-5300 drawers

Module 1

PJM-5300 Module 1 assignment example

Written assignment: the project manager at a composite Somerset contract packager writes a risk management plan for a nine-month, $2.4 million blister packaging line installation for a pharmaceutical client, defining roles, six risk categories, five-point probability and impact scales, thresholds for escalation, a contingency reserve and a biweekly review cycle.

Module 2

PJM-5300 Module 2 assignment example

Case study: the composite Somerset packaging line project identifies risks through a work breakdown review, a team brainstorm, Kendrick's PERIL categories and an assumptions check, and records ten risks in cause, event and effect form with owners and initial scores, the highest being late fabrication and validation failure of the vision inspection system.

Module 3

PJM-5300 Module 3 assignment example

Case study: five critical path activities of the composite packaging line project receive optimistic, most likely and pessimistic estimates; PERT gives an expected 31.3 weeks with a standard deviation of 2.15, a 62 percent chance of meeting the client's 32-week target and a 90 percent date of 34 weeks, and activity responses aim at vendor fabrication, the largest source of variance.

Module 4

PJM-5300 Module 4 assignment example

Written assignment: the composite packaging line project's five main cost risks have an expected monetary value of $76,000, which sizes the contingency reserve; a decision tree shows that buying an $18,000 spare vision camera costs more in expectation than accepting the risk, and the paper weighs that result against the client's risk attitude.

Module 5

PJM-5300 Module 5 assignment example

Case study: during the composite packaging line project, biweekly reviews retire four risks, a trigger at the week-8 factory visit reveals a fabrication slip that weekly calls had missed, the response holds the delay to two weeks, a new risk appears at installation, and the project closes at 33 weeks with a risk audit and lessons for the next line.

Using a PJM-5300 sample the right way

Send your PJM-5300 case or assignment and the project you are analyzing, and a first custom sample comes back free inside 24-48h. Use it to see how each risk tool is worked on real numbers, then do your own.

How these samples are written

The five PJM-5300 samples here follow one installation, so the scales set in Module 1 score the register of Module 2 and the reserve sized in Module 4 is drawn down in Module 5.
