Risk Mitigation Planning

  • Weekly Risk Review: Each sprint includes a dedicated risk review session
  • Risk Ownership: Each identified risk has a designated owner responsible for monitoring and mitigation
  • Contingency Budget: 20% time buffer allocated for critical path items
  • Escalation Path: Clear escalation procedure for when risk factors exceed thresholds

Technical Debt Management

  • Debt Tracking: Technical debt items explicitly logged in project management system
  • Remediation Windows: Specific time allocated in each sprint for addressing high-priority technical debt
  • Definition of Done: Includes technical debt thresholds that must not be exceeded
  • Architecture Reviews: Regular reviews to prevent architectural drift

Future Phases (Post-May 2025)

The following sprints represent planned work after the initial 8-week delivery phase and will be refined based on outcomes from Sprints 1-4:

Transition Plan to Future Phases

Key Dependencies for Future Phase Success

  • Successful completion of CRM pilot with positive user feedback
  • Authentication service fully implemented and validated in production
  • Data infrastructure providing reliable dashboard solutions
  • AI conversation flows validated with stakeholders

Go/No-Go Decision Criteria (End of Sprint 4)

  • Go Criteria:

    • All critical path items in Sprints 1-4 successfully completed
    • No high-severity issues remaining unresolved
    • Business stakeholder sign-off on delivered components
    • Infrastructure capacity meets projected requirements
  • No-Go Criteria:

    • Unresolved critical bugs in core functionality
    • Performance metrics not meeting minimum thresholds
    • Significant user experience issues identified during testing
    • Technical debt exceeding defined thresholds

Contingency Planning

  • Alternative deployment strategies if full scope cannot be delivered
  • Phased rollout options to minimize business disruption
  • Resource adjustment plans for high-demand teams
