Possible Risks and Mitigations
Scope risk factors:
The scope of the project is Scope Mitigation Plans:
poorly defined
Hard to provide sound Define various components of
estimates scope, such as expected
Easy to have scope creep deliverables and known
Hard to gather detailed requirements
requirements Define all out of scope items
and document in Charter
Start defining high-level
business requirements
Define all assumptions when
creating estimates
Ensure there is a process in
place for changes in scope
Requirement risk factors: Requirement Mitigation Plans:
Difficulty understanding the Hold a requirements
expectations of the project gathering session with all
Likelihood that the solution stakeholders
will not meet the business Ensure that stakeholders sign
need off on requirements.
Difficulty to document the Ensure there is a process in
requirements adequately place for requirement
changes
If customers have not gone
through providing business
requirements, consider a
training session on gathering
business requirements for the
Estimates risk factors: customers.
Resources not involved in Estimate Mitigation Plans:
estimates
Resources giving high Ensure resources are involved
estimates due to unknowns in giving estimates
Utilize estimation techniques
to help achieve realistic
