                    Notes              Management
                                       1.   How clearly are the project objectives defined?
                                       2.   Will the project be run using well-documented approach to project management?
                                       3.   Does this approach cover aspects of quality management, risk management and
                                            development activities in sufficient depth?
                                       4.   How well does the project team understand chosen methodology?
                                       5.   What is the current state of project plans?

                                       6.   Is the completion of project dependent on completion of other projects?
                                       7.   Are the tasks in project plan interdependent?
                                       8.   Can a critical path through the project tasks be identified?
                                       9.   What is the availability of appropriate resources?

                                       10.  What are the skills and experience of project team?
                                       11.  Will people be available for training?
                                       12.  How many separate users are involved?
                                       13.  How much changes will there be for user’s operation or organization?

                                       Technical

                                       1.   Is the specification clear, concise accurate and feasible?
                                       2.   How have the technical options been evaluated?
                                       3.   What is the knowledge of equipment (hardware/software)?
                                       4.   Does the experience of project manager cover a similar application?

                                       5.   Is this a new application?
                                       6.   What is the complexity of system?
                                       7.   How many sites will the system are implemented in?
                                       8.   Is the proposed equipment new/leading edge?

                                       9.   Who is responsible for defining system testing?
                                       10.  Who is responsible for defining acceptance testing?
                                       11.  On what basis is the implementation planned?
                                       12.  What access will the project team have to development/testing facilities?

                                       13.  Will users of data processing staff use the system?
                                       14.  Have requirements  for long-term  operations, maintenance  and support  been
                                            identified?

                                   With risk identified, it is much easier to develop a plan to eliminate or manage risk.

                                   10.2.4 Risk Migration

                                   Risk Migration is the process of reducing risk exposure, either by decreasing the probability of
                                   the risk occurring, or by finding ways to reduce the possible impact if it does occur.
