Examples of actions
- Breakdown into WBS
- Progress Checking and Report
- Decide specifications and
Agree on it among all
stakeholders
- Business goal alignment instead
of specification agreement
- Hold several options in hands on
the specs without decision
- Validation Planning
- Multiple scenario designsIteration and Validation

17. SYSTEM RISKS
- Prediction Accuracy Deterioration
- Data Irregularity
- Change of specs while developments ongoing
- Extended demands coming in
- Performance Risks
- Increase of error-handling cases later
- Logging / Data access errors
- Fine-tuner errors
- Library auto-upgrades with version inconsistency
- Failure in auto-scaling
- Fatal Errors on Recovery Process
