Internal Risk

System Issues is a major internal risk resulting in issues of implying management process and development of the mobile application.

External risk

Lack of access would result in forming issues for managing the proper and effective implication management and developing probable development model.

Known risk

Risk of schedule is a known risk that would result in forming the probable issues of completing the project in the estimated time.

Unknown risk

Cost Overshoot is an unknown risk that may or may not occur for the completion of the project operations.

Risk Matrix

The project needs are identified, project charter plan is made, and feasibility study of the project is done are the activities of the initiation phase. In this phase, the development of the initiation of the project would be effectively implied for managing the activities and implying the management of the activities.

Planning phase

The project planning is comprised of activities like project activities are scheduled, project resources are estimated, resources are allocated, communication plan is developed, and resources management plan is developed. The completion of the planning phase would be done for aligning the management of the successive management.

Monitor and controlling

The monitoring and controlling of the project activities would be helpful for prototype is developed, features of application and website is defined, project needs are defined, functional options are identified, mobile application platform database made, mobile application is formed, and integration works is executed. The monitoring and controlling of the project operations would be effectively managed with the consideration of the improved factors.

Closing

The project closure would be achieved with the entitlement of the management is requested, issues are managed, project risks are managed, meetings are undertaken, earned value analysis is done, sign off, and post project review. The closing of the project would be effectively deployed for analyzing the successful integration management.
