SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Iman Software House is awarded with a contract for developing a flood disaster management system. Although the company has been in the industry for almost three years, this project is considered new and by far the biggest project they ever involved in. A stipulated amount of money has been allocated for the project and there is only three months given before the project is delivered to the client. The short project duration is due to the approaching flood season. The development team therefore must work fast despite of their lack of experience in this type of project. The system requirements are gathered from many different stakeholders including the local authorities, natural disaster management agencies and many more. Among the important measures for this system are Reservoirs, Embankments, Channelization of Rivers, Drainage Improvement and Diversion of Flood Waters. The system must also be designed to be highly reliable, maintainable and scalable.

a) Discuss TWO (2) potential risk events.

b) For each event, propose an analysis in terms of severity (the impact to the project) and probability (likelihood of the risk to occur).

c) Suggest a mitigation plan for each risk.
