Guidance<br />

As with any project containing dependencies among events, people, and other<br />

resources, risk management is an important ingredient to success. The<br />

appraisal team leader is responsible <strong>for</strong> documenting and communicating risks<br />

and associated mitigation plans to the sponsor and appraisal team members.<br />

• Identify appraisal risks.<br />

• Develop mitigation plans <strong>for</strong> key appraisal risks, and implement these<br />

plans as necessary.<br />

• Keep the appraisal sponsor and other stakeholders in<strong>for</strong>med of the<br />

appraisal risk status.<br />

The risks and mitigation plans identified through conducting this activity are<br />

required elements of the appraisal plan (see Parameters and Limits <strong>for</strong> activity<br />

1.2.6). Most Lead Appraisers include a section titled “Risk Management” in<br />

the appraisal plan. The level of ef<strong>for</strong>t devoted to risk-management activities is<br />

something the appraisal team leader must adjust to fit the situation at hand.<br />

None.<br />

The appraisal plan is used to document and track risks to the successful<br />

conduct of the appraisal. As with the requirement to address logistical issues<br />

during planning, there are no minimum guidelines to be met other than the<br />

requirement that the plan include identified risks and planned mitigation<br />

strategies.<br />

The appraisal team leader is responsible <strong>for</strong> keeping the appraisal sponsor<br />

in<strong>for</strong>med of risk-management activities so that, if needed, timely sponsor<br />

intervention is possible to ensure the achievement of appraisal objectives.<br />
