Causes of failure once a project has
started and what we would do to mitigate these risks:
- 74% Unclear objectives and requirements
- I think that since we are using the waterfall approach
we won’t have this issue.
Everything will be laid out and everyone at Southern Winery will have a clear
understanding of the requirements.
Since you have to sign off on everything, if anything looks funny
you will have the first opinion.
We will have daily staff meetings.
We have created a work breakdown structure and divided up the work
between shops. We have created
a Daily Activity Report on Microsoft SharePoint. This report shows each work center and what they have accomplished that day. We
also have a Weekly Activity Report which is more beneficial for the
mangers who can then brief this to you.
- 60% Lack of business commitment
- All of our employees like working for Southern
Winery. They are committed since
they have been working for the company for a long time.
This shouldn’t be an issue, though I do think it’s important to hire a couple more folks for continuity
purposes.
- 58% Business requirements changing
- As long as we stick with the Waterfall approach this shouldn’t
be an issue. We have a clear approach set that needs your wet signature to begin the next phase.
- 45% Poor communication
- Having our daily staff meetings should mitigate these communication issues. As your project manager I am dedicated to making sure every employee knows the task at hand and how their specific job impacts the company.
