    Acceptance of final deliverables.

    RISK MANAGEMENT PROJECT RISKS a) Project Complexity


    Lack of identifying the modules and function in details .

    b) Support risks
    The degree of uncertainty that the resultant software will be easy to correct ,adapt and enhancement .

    c) Schedule risks
    The degree of uncertainty that the project schedule will be maintained and the product will be delivered on time .

    d) Involvement :
    Lack of customizing full involvement in the definition of requirement and their commitments to the project .

    RISK TABLE
    A Risk is a potential problem in a system .It is identified with likelihood of a hazardous event occurring within a designated time or in designated

    circumstances . It is needed in choosing product development paths that have the best chance of success within a reasonable time . Risk assessment is computed in terms of two factors : the probability that an undesirable event might occur and the consequent estimated loss . P (E) = m / n = number of favorable events / number of possible events. let e be the event that an undesirable event occurs

    OVERVIEW OF RISK MITIGATION MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT ( RMMM):


    The RMMM plan documents all the works performed as a part of risk analysis used by the project manager as a part of the overall project plan . Risk mitigation is a problem avoidance activity and risk monitoring to allocate the origin of risks. In case of risk monitoring manager monitors factors that may provide an indication of whether the risk is becoming more or less likely effectiveness also be monitored . Risk management assumes that the mitigation efforts have failed and that risk has become a reality .

    STAFF ORGANIZATION : Team structure :


    The project team has one manager who will plan and organize the various attributes and acts as main head in controlling team leaders and in directing team members. The team leaders will directly control and co-ordinate the activities of their respective team members .

    Mangement reporting and communication :


    Group meeting will be held informally .the members should report about the progress in their activities which the individual team leaders will report about

    the progress in their activities which the individual team leaders will report the project manger at their level of discussion .

    TRACKING AND CONTROL MECHANISM : Quality assurance and control :


    Quality assurance is an essential activity that is a planned sequence of actions required to ensure high quality software . Ensuring conformance to the requirement s Tight change management Close contact with clients

    CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL :


    Deciding which authority has the right to access and modify a particular object . Synchronization where any parallel change that is performed by two different people, does not over- write one another using control locks. Change suggested by one member ,must be approved by other members also, this can implemented using an internal control channel .

    PROJECT CONTROLS:
    The main project controls are-

    Project plan:
    An initial project level plan is produced as part of the PID to provide an overview of the whole project. The project level plan identifies the major milestones in the project and the main stage of the project. This supports management and control pf the project by the project manager and the responsibility of the project. And issues they find should be raised as early as possible with the project manager.

    Stage plans:
    The project will be managed through the use of stage plans. Detailed Planning will be undertaken prior to each stage, producing a stage plan for approval by the project board. Risks and assumptions associated with stage plans will form part of the documtation on the plan.

    End stage reports:


    At the end of each stage of the project a report will be provided to the project board containingReport on completion of project stage. Detailed stage plan for next stage. Earned value analysis.

    Up-dated risks log. Up-dated issues log. The project manager is responsible for production of these reports. The project board will be required to approve these reports. At the end of each stage the project should be assessed for viability the original business case. Approval of the detailed stage provides approval for the continuation of the project.
