== Challenges: Risks and Issues ==

Risk: Resourcing is a high risk, since there is a potential of a lack of resources 1) for application developers due to other projects and schedules colliding with major deliverables; 2) in obtaining support resources for the Cloud due to this skill set being in high demand at this time. – Impact: Medium – Probability: High

'''Risk:''' Resourcing is a high risk, since there is a potential of a lack of resources 1) for application developers due to other projects and schedules colliding with major deliverables; 2) in obtaining support resources for the Cloud due to this skill set being in high demand at this time. – Impact: Medium – Probability: High

Mitigation: The team will strive to mitigate this risk through high-level program management and close coordination with Managers and Directors. Support from senior management across various projects will be needed to ensure that initiatives, inter-dependencies and resource conflicts are highlighted. Senior management will also need to get involved to prioritize and resolve conflicts as required.

Risk: Cloud technology is a new paradigm for TC developers, and as well is a fast changing technology environment for support staff, creating a steep learning curve. - Impact: Medium – Probability: Medium

Mitigation: TC management must include Cloud based training for staff in the training plans, as well, staff needs to take advantage of the vendor workshops, demos, and other venues that the Cloud support team has organized.

Risk: Schedule is a low impact risk as there are mitigation plans in place for the currently listed risks (connectivity, resourcing). - Impact: Low – Probability: High

'''Risk:''' Schedule is a low impact risk as there are mitigation plans in place for the currently listed risks (connectivity, resourcing). - Impact: Low – Probability: High

Mitigation: The Project Manager will mitigate the risk by conducting weekly meetings and focus on which deliverables to manage, while at the same time keeping the project end date on track. Mitigation plans are in place for schedule delays due to the current risks. Scheduling challenges are immediately communicated to senior management.

Resolution Plan: Re-order activities to migrate workloads that have minimum dependency on Network requirements first. Working to ensure TC is on the next wave of SCED planning.
