Risk analysis and success plan

Risks for the case study were identified as:

1. Staff retention. Probability (1-5) 1, Severity (1-5) 3, Score (PxS) 3.

Action to prevent/manage risk: Second other staff to the project.

2. Changing environment. Probability (1-5) 1, Severity (1-5) 3, Score (PxS) 3.

Action to prevent/manage risk: The substantive project for the development of VuFind is well underway, and commitment and funds for completion are secured. Any late changes to the scope of the main project will be reflected in the project output.

Success Plan:

Output from the case study will be publically available online, to be consulted without any need for effort from the project staff. Within reasonable limits, library support staff will be available to deal with queries about the product.

It is hoped that code from the development work on VuFind will be incorporated into the main product, and thus be readily available and supported by the wider VuFind community.
