Solve Problems trought Risks

I have just read "Deadline" book. I don't know why, but only now I have opened it and find out that it is good time.

Solve Problems trought Risks - if you do not want to be face to face with Problems in the Project, try to predict them, use Risk management Process.

Step 1. Each monday try to get information which Risks do you have for now in the Project -
Sample -
1. Developer A dont like Tester B, it could cause bad productivity in the Team.
2. Qality of automation tests could be low because we do not have expertise in it.


Step 2. Try to measure impact
1. If developer A will avoid bugs from Tester B we could have at the end of the Sprint 72 bugs in the Application
2. If quality of the AT will be LOW we will spend additional 30 hours in fixing of bugs from Customer.

Step 3. Write mitigation strategy
Sample -
1. Find out real problem between A and B and solve it.
2. Find in company Automation Tests GURU and share this contact with your Test Team. Find good trainings concerning AT


Step 4. At the end of the week try to analyse what have you done concerning these risks, how it helps you this week, etc.


All these steps could be done not only once a week, but every day, or any day, when you think it is reasonable.
