    Risk Management Plan
    According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than
    21,000 backpack-related injuries occurred between 1999 and 2000. The most
    common injury was not caused from the weight of the bag but from tripping
    hazards or wearing them improperly (GPP, 2013). Students rely on their book
    bags especially in times where they are running late and cannot stop at their
    locker. A book bag safety program that would detail proper way to wear and
    store their bags would be ideal to help prevent these injuries.

    Communication Plan
    The purpose of the communication plan is to ensure the Project Management
    Improvement project provides relevant, precise, and consistent project details
    to project stakeholders and other appropriate viewers (PMBOK, 2013). By
    effectively interacting the work can accomplish its work with the support and
    collaboration of each stakeholder group.

    The communication plan provides a structure to manage and organize the
    wide range of emails that take place during the work. The interaction strategy
    includes who will receive the emails, how the emails will be provided, what
    details will be conveyed, who conveys, and the regularity of the emails.
    This section recognizes the viewers focused in this Communication Plan, and
    the objective of communication with each viewer (PMBOK, 2013).

    Project Checklist

    Change Management Plan
    In order to have foreseeable project distribution, it is crucial to handle
    changes. The purpose is not to avoid change, but rather to handle change so
    that choices are based on a clear knowing of the benefits that the changes
    will bring as well as the effect of the changes to the project’s opportunity,
    schedule, price range and/or benefits (PMBOK, 2013). In some cases the
    change may have enough importance to impact the unique business case for
    the project, which validated the financing of the book bag project.
    Change Management is used to content changes in the project
    opportunity that effect schedule, price range or benefits of the project. Once
    project opportunity, schedule, price range or advantages have been base
    lined and joined into Change Management, any changes to the project must
    be officially asked for, and examined regarding the effect the modification will
    have on these four key aspects.
