SMTT – Risk Reduction

The SMTT Project Team has identified 3 risks to monitor/mitigate

 

Staff Turnover

clearly communicate project requirements

reinforce the value of each team member

provide incentive bonuses

 

Scope Creep

Define/document project requirements upfront

Conduct peer reviews to avoid missing requirements

Document/request signature sponsor for all requirements

Poorly Defined Requirements

Document specific details about the appearance/operation of the finished site

Request sponsor signature the appearance/operation of the finished site
