Identified Risk (risk identified by standard project risk management processes)

Description

Remedial Action

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

Risk retired. Boeing Defence Australia agreed to complete this work under a Contract Change Proposal signed February 2010. Work will be finalised by October 2010 negating any further delays to the Mobiles Upgrade program due to the Radio Study.

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.

Risk retired. Integration and test program including performance modelling has been completed with most requirements being met. Limited relief against a small number of lower level requirements in the detailed specification was provided following agreement by stakeholders.

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.

Risk retired. An independent audit was conducted on the software design documentation; the findings were that the documentation is adequate for the project's needs.

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

Risk is now assessed as low due to progress on relevant Mobile Upgrade work through other contracting mechanisms.

There is a chance that the cryptographic equipment required for the Land Mobile upgrades (which is replacing near-obsolete cryptographic equipment) will not be available in time to meet the schedule for the Land platform upgrades.

Risk is assessed as medium. The Land Platforms may require an interim fit to be installed until the approved replacement cryptographic equipment is available. This could affect both cost and schedule for the Mobiles Land platforms upgrades.

There is a chance that the proposed Mobile Upgrades scope change is not approved by Government as planned during third quarter 2010, potentially delaying the Mobiles Upgrade program.

Risk is assessed as medium. Mobiles Upgrade program is proceeding at risk, based on the direction provided to DMO at the Project Management Stakeholder Group meeting held in August 2009. Flexibility to adjust the program is being retained pending Government Approval.
