[Risk] Client Requirements Are Unclear

[Evie-YW]

Description

The client's requirements for the project are not clearly defined, leading to confusion and potential misalignment with their expectations. This lack of clarity makes it challenging to develop the product as per the client's needs, resulting in longer development time and possible rework.

Impact

Unclear requirements can lead to misunderstandings, frequent changes in project scope, increased development time, and the risk of delivering a product that does not meet the client's needs.

Mitigation Strategy

Schedule regular meetings with the client to gather detailed requirements. Use tools like surveys or questionnaires to understand their needs better. Document all requirements and have the client review and approve them to ensure alignment.

Contingency Plan

If clarity is still not achieved, consider setting up a workshop with the client to refine the requirements. Adjust the project timeline to accommodate the extra time needed for clarification.
