Professor Roger Aucoin Nate Lindstrom 02/24/2011 Project Risk Assessment and Budget

Dear Professor, In keeping with the assignment, I am submitting two enclosed documents, the project s risk assessment and the project s budget. The purpose of the risk assessment document is to assess the top five risks to the project, the likelihood of occurrence, the severity of their impact on the project, the details of risk event mitigation planning, and finally, what trigger conditions exist that will indicate a potential occurrence of a risk. The purpose of the project budget is to document all of the costs associated with the project, including resources, vendors, hardware, software, and other supplies. The budget also includes a contingency fund for use in mitigating risk. I hope the enclosed documents meets with your expectations. Respectfully, Nate Lindstrom

Risk Assessment
Server hardware not delivered on schedule
Likelihood Severity Mitigation Trigger Low. The vendor has an excellent track record of providing on-time deliveries. High. All subsequent phases of the project are gated by this deliverable. Allocate hardware away from other sites or services on an emergency basis. Notification from the vendor that the shipment date has slipped or been missed.

Data loss occurs during systems migration

Likelihood Severity Mitigation Trigger Low. There will be extensive verification and quality controls in place. Low. Missing data can be restored on a very granular basis in a short timeframe. Restore the missing data from the original system to the new system. User reports missing data.

Data corruption occurs during systems migration

Likelihood Severity Mitigation Trigger Moderate. There will be controls in place, but corruption is more likely than loss. Low. Corrupt data can be overwritten with good data restored from the original system. Overwrite the corrupt data with data from the original system. User reports corrupt data.

A key resource becomes unavailable for an assigned task

Likelihood Severity Mitigation Trigger Low. The triggering event is extremely unlikely. High. Project timelines can quickly slip if work stalls due to an unavailable resource. Depending on the task, another resource may be able to cover for the missing resource. An unanticipated business event which requires a resource be quickly reassigned.

Power or connectivity is lost during a critical task

Likelihood Severity Mitigation Trigger Low. Both power and connectivity in the data center have an SLA for 99.99% uptime. High. Project timelines can slip severely if an event occurs during a critical task. None. Work will be stopped until the power or connectivity is restored. Loss of power or connectivity.
