| EXAMPLE | There is a chance that the project cost will exceed the amount that the company has budged for the work. | Joe Agileguy | If the expected work remaining will cost more than $9,000 over budget we will need to seek additional funding from management. | Financial | 2 | 3 | 6 | We will not be able to secure funding necessary to complete the project. Work may stop before MVP has been achieved. Product may never get to market and be deemed a total failure. | Mitigate | When estimated cost for MVP is within 5K of approved project total we will begin seeking additional funding. | Jimmy Kanban | Meet with key stakeholders to review finished product, total spend to date, work remaining and expected total spend. Ask for additional funding to complete work. | Given that our team has a mostly stable velocity, a proven ability to meet commitments and deliver value, we expect the answer to be yes provided the total amount requests is less than $25K. |
