4.1 Major Project Risks

Description

Remedial Action

Delayed Radio Study for Mobiles may impact on Mobiles upgrade program.

Finalise Support Services Contract with Boeing Defence Australia urgently. Ensure work to develop drivers commences at earliest possible time after Support Services Contract in place.

There is a risk that the Fixed Network will be affected by failure to meet contractual Grade of Service and Speed of Service requirements leading to an impact on performance and schedule.

Work closely with the contractor to ensure that the data collection and analysis occurs at the earliest possible time to ensure that any identified impacts on performance are well understood and where possible corrective actions are undertaken.

There is a risk that the Fixed Network will be affected by inadequate software design documentation leading to an impact on cost, performance and supportability.

Monitor the Contractor to ensure that the software documentation is incrementally upgraded to reflect what is actually built and delivered. Also, review the final delivered design documentation to ensure that it meets requirements.

Upgraded Mobile platform(s) may not be available for Final System testing within the Prime Contract timescale.

This prior risk is now closed. There will be no upgraded mobile platforms for final system testing due to platform availability issues outside of the project's control.

Timely supply of Mobiles unique configuration items is not assured and any delay in the supply of these items has a direct impact on the mobiles schedule.

This prior risk is now closed. A Deed of Settlement, Release and Amendment signed April 2009 included contractual options for supply of these items.

Delayed implementation of Support Services Contract may impact on support for Mobiles program.

Risk is now assessed as low due to progress on implementation of Support Services Contract.
