November 14, RiskImpact/ProbabilityMitigation C1 – Ease of use If the product is too difficult to work with, it will not be useful to the customer Impact 4 Probability 1 The goal of this software is to make training module creation easier. We will design it with a user interface that is intuitive and easy to understand C2 – Accessibility For maximum functionality, the product needs to be remotely accessible Impact 3 Probability 1 We must design the product with web access in mind

November 14, RiskImpact/ProbabilityMitigation C3 – Extensibility The database may need to include different types of files in the future Impact 3 Probability 1 We must keep the database flexible enough for other types of files C4 - Feedback Customers may not give adequate feedback to aid in improvements Impact 1 Probability 3 Our feedback mechanism must be simple to understand and use, to encourage its use

November 14, RiskImpact/ProbabilityMitigation T1 – Security The customer's proprietary information needs to stay private Impact 4 Probability 2 We must design the product with good security practices in mind T2 – Compatibility The product must be fully compatible with the customer's other software Impact 5 Probability 1 We must test to ensure compatibility with all necessary software
