Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS):
Risk breakdown structure is made to identify and understand potential risks that can hinder its
success. As there is a lot of data so RBS can help us consider and evaluate important risk
information. The major potential risks to our by-pass can be internal or external. Internal risks
can be regarding the management and equipment. If the management is incompetent, it can
pose a serious risk for the project as we don’t know where it lacks or go wrong. On the other
hand, if the equipment is dysfunctional, it can incur extra cost and effort. The external risks
include material supply and weather conditions. These threats are highly unpredictable. We
will take measure to mitigate these risks or to face them competently. Here is the risk
