Advantage Energy Technology Data Center Migration (DCM)

Given DCM story, the budget, and the schedule details below, follow the Risk Management Process steps outlined in Figure 7.2

Step 1: Identify a minimum of five risks to the DCM project.

Step 2: Use the Impact Scale in Figure 7.5 (or create your own scale) and plot the risks on a Risk Severity Matrix (like Figure 7.7).

Step 3: Develop a Risk Response Matrix (like Figure 7.8).

Step 4: Create a simple Change Request Form (like Figure 7.10).
