Challenge:

In all programs and projects cycles a risk workshop is mandated to be conducted and its highly

recommended to be conducted at an early stage of each project cycle. The main goal of the risk  workshop is to identify all the possible risks which may appear in the project life cycles, to either  overcome any possible threats and enhance any opportunities.  The challenge that always appears in all  workshops the process of the risk identification and get all the participants thoughts and ideas to be  shared. Followed by the identification of the impact and the probability of each risk. In addition, to plan  for an action with clear responses and assign a person either a team member or a stakeholder as a  champion to the identified risk to be accountable to act once the risk getting close or appear.

Selection:

Mind mapping is a great tool to be utilized to help the workshop facilitator and the participants

to clear the workshop goal and techniques that will be used to identify risks. I have selected mind  mapping tool to identify the gaps and try to link the recent challenges that we have faced recently in  identifying risks in one of the workshops done earlier and to capture the gaps before the next workshop.

Application:

One of the main actions to identify the project or the program risk items is by conducting a

project Risk workshop at an early stage of the project, to get the most benefit of the mentioned  workshop. In the last risk workshop that I have attended, I noticed that the participants were facing  difficulties and struggles to identify risks. During that workshop the facilitator was trying to enhance the  participants to share their thoughts and ideas, however the risk identification still very low and does not  meet the subject and the intention of the workshop. I have suggested to the facilitator to walk us  through the planned risk identification technique and consider using more than one technique to get  the most benefit of each method.

Insight:

I found out that considering the mind mapping by aligning the participants around a common

understanding about the goal of the workshop and what are the techniques that will be used, added a  lot to the workshop.

Approach:

In the following workshop, I made sure that this way was followed to enhance the workshop

outcome. The facilitator started with a brief of the workshop and from my side I asked questions to clear  some points to all participants that I have faced in the previous workshop. Considering this way as a  mind mapping is clearly identify the what is, what if, what wows until reaching the what fits. It was
