Risk response planning
There are various risks that the Petra Coffee Shop business will face during the project development process. These risks will need solid plans that will contribute to overcoming them that ensures they do not impact on the business negatively.
First, careful planning and identification of alternatives. Through careful planning, it will be possible to identify the risks that face the business. The identification of risk will result to their anticipation (Aven, 2015). As such, the Petra Coffee Shop project management will determine the available alternatives that could be implemented if the main project fails. The implementation of the alternatives will facilitate the continuity of the project which will see the project come to an end successfully. Secondly, availability of finances avails sufficient resources; the project management will have enough financial base that will enable them to overcome most of the obstacles that will be anticipated along the way or the barriers that were just emergencies. The ability to have such resources makes it possible for the project to continue and come to an end (Aven, 2015). Additionally, financial resources facilitate the integration of the new alternatives that had been earlier identified.
