Monthly Adoption Event at Dough Paws Project Touchstone 4

Now that you’ve created the risk register, communication management plan, and logged the approved changes in the change control log, it’s important to show how you will use these tools to guide the monthly adoption event at Dough Paws. In this touchstone, you’ll answer a series of questions that ask you to explain your decisions and next steps as the project manager for this project.

Directions: Using what you have learned about risk registers, communication management plans, and change control in Units 2 and 4, respond to the following questions in relation to the scenario. For each question, you should write a paragraph-length response (5–7 sentences) to receive credit for this Touchstone. Refer to the risk register, communication management plan, and change control log as needed, and explain your reasoning rather than copying directly from the documents. You may use your Sophia tutorials as a reference.
