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.6.
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.Audience

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.Resources
