Project Risks
Classification | Risk Description | Impact | Probability | Mitigation Strategy and Triggers (if applicable) | Status, and Remarks (if any) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Technology | Unfamiliarity of Flash technology for development of the Ring Customization tool | High | High | Allocate time for adequate learning as well as approaching people with relevant experience for guidance. | New Mitigation Strategy: The team discussed the priority of this feature with our client and chose to shift towards a jQuery-based tool |
Technical & Learning Risk | Delay of prototype development due to technical challenge | High | Medium | Trigger: Schedule Delay Initiate research on any technologies that would be easier to implement, and if possible, produce a prototype to confirm the technology switch. |
Controlled The team plans to firm up technology decisions via working prototypes by week 2. |
Technology | Over-reliance on 3rd Party API such as PhoneGap and E-nets | High | Medium | Conduct proper research and seek alternatives | Followed Mitigation Strategy: The team implemented PayPal instead of E-NETS |
Project Management | Client is resistant to change of business processes and adoption of new technologies | Medium | Low | Conduct thorough analysis and provide a concise solution. Walk client through the needs for such changes. | Controlled We have met up with the client several times to review the proposed solution and changes. |
Project Management | Scope creep: Client requests to add on functions above and beyond what was agreed upon | Medium | Medium | Perform thorough requirements analysis and create a baseline. When change is required, PM will meet with the team and compare against baseline and project schedule to see if change can be allowed. | Risk Occurred Post UAT, client has brought up numerous changes and adjustments that were necessary. They also highlighted minor cosmetic errors. The team has since made most of the changes requested at the expense of buffer time |
