Imagine taking a risk in a software development job. You want to suggest a new step in your e-commerce checkout process, persuading customers to subscribe to 1-day delivery like Amazon Prime. The step might improve customer loyalty or cause confusion and complaints. It might increase revenues. It might be too complicated to get right.

Write a proposal like an email, proposing the step in the checkout process to your team, what risks you perceive and how you will mitigate the risks. Write it in a document between 0.5 to 1 page long.
